Chapter 8
Another Deal
It seems like this ride home is a very long way…I don't know why but time inside this limousine with Edward makes every second my personal hell.
"You really mad at me?" He suddenly asked. I looked to him…with a poker face. I'm not gonna talk to him. I hate him.
"Look, I'm sorry but everything I said to you is true" He said.
"You don't love me" I stated the fact. Everything? What is he saying? Even the promise etc? Whatever.
"Ok, part of what I said is true. The only lie I said is starting from the 'got down in knees' to before we went inside this limo"
Really Edward? The thing where you said you're crazy at me is true? Sucha liar.
"I don't care if you lied or not…the thing is, I just forgave you and you did another thing that made me mad"
"I didn't mean any of those. I don't want to hurt you Bella"
"Then you shouldn't kissed me in front of everyone and plan on making me your toy"
"Toy?"
"Yes! You said you want me for your plan to make your Tanya jealous?"
"Oh…well I won't treat you as a toy…"
"Then what?"
"You're still my friend right?"
"I don't know. With everything you did tonight, you crossed the line. I don't want friends like you"
"You still hate me"
"I never liked you"
"From the very start where I flipped you off, I knew you hate me. Can you now understand why I need you? Why I want you?"
And we're back to what we talked earlier. He wants to use me because I hate him.
I looked away, annoyed. I can't believe he had the guts to talk to me. He's lucky I'm not freaking out today…
He was so sweet at the dance floor. I thought he's changed. I thought he's different to what I assumed he is…but what he did made me regret being his friend. If I knew I'll be in this situation right now, I shouldn't went to that library and saw him flipped me off.
This is not destiny! Is it? I don't know! ARgh!
"Forgive me please" He said.
"I hate you"
"I know that"
"I can't just forgive you! If you're in my place, wouldn't you be mad!"
"I'm sorry Bella! I'm sorry!"
"Forgiveness is earned not given" I mumbled and he became quiet.
EPOV
"Forgiveness is earned not given" Bella said. I stayed quiet.
Ok, I know I'm a 100% jerk for doing that earlier. But think of me as obsess?
I can't live without Tanya. Bella is the only plan left for me.
I need Bella to make things right. I have to make Tanya jealous.
I have to do something to make Bella say yes. But there is nothing bad about her that I can tell to everyone…how will I block mail her? Geeh! I can't believe I'm thinking like this.
But my head is right. Block mailing her is the easiest thing…
"Do you have a phone?" She suddenly said, distracting my thoughts.
"Yeah why?"
"I have to call Alice and Jacob"
"Jacob?"
"Yeah, your friend. Jacob Black" She said and I rolled my eyes.
"I know who Jacob is; I'm asking why do you need to call him"
"He's my date tonight and you stole me from him. He might be angry or pissed off"
She cares for Jacob. Why only him? She never cared to me. I frowned…
"I'll text him sorry"
"I have to talk to him Edward"
She really likes him…and I don't like Jacob. I hate that guy. He always steals what I have.
"My cell phone died" There…what a great excuse. I'm so smart.
"You're joking"
"No I'm not" I said and she pouted. Here we are again…back to the frowning Bella.
I sighed. The limousine stopped and I looked up. Why did the driver drove to my new house?
Without a word, Bella get out. I was stunned but I got out of the car too. Good thing this place is far from neighbors. No paparazzi followed us…
"Why did you got out of the car Bella?" I asked her and she looked at me as if I'm insane.
"I'm home"
"Home? That's my house" I said and she laughed. She's insane…not me.
"This is my house Edward"
BPOV
What is he saying that this is his house? Is he drunk?
"Bella, I told you I bought a house. This is my house…I asked my assistant to replace everything inside with my new appliances and furnitures. I can assure you I'm not joking…you can go inside and check" He said.
I quickly unlocked the gate. He looked surprised I have a key. Told yah Edward, this is my house. You must think this is yours. My car is gone…maybe alice took it.
When I entered my house, everything is different. I am sure this is my house but the things…my things are gone.
I went to my room and got shocked that nothing in my thing is in here. Even a single bit.
"Where are my things?"
"I don't know" He said. I cried and he got startled. He run towards me then hugged me. I pushed him away but he didn't let me.
"Look, Maybe it's not gone" He quickly called his assistant and asked. Wait, I thought his phone died?
What? This is his house? How? Where's the certificate that this is my house? Whom did he buy this? Alice? No, Alice would never do that.
"Bella, it's with Alice"
"What? Where is she?"
"She's at an apartment near here"
"I thought your phone is low battery…"
"Sorry I lied" He mumbled.
Angrily, I got out of his hug and went to sit at a new couch. He sat beside me.
"This is my house Edward. Get your things out from here" I glared at him and he flinched.
"This is mine! I bought this!"
"Well then give it back to me"
"Give me back my money!"
"You what? To whom did you bought my house?"
"Angela weber"
Angela. My bestfriend. No…he's lying.
"You're a liar"
"I'm not!"
"Can I borrow your phone?" I said frowning.
He handled me his phone and I dialed Angela's number.
"Hello? Angela Weber speaking"
"WHAT THE HELL ANGELA? IS IT TRUE YOU SELL MY HOUSE? WHY? HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME? I TRUSTED YOU! YOU KNOW THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MADE ME AND ALICE REMEMBER OUR PARENTS! WHY DID YOU?" I shouted at the phone…Edward stayed quiet.
"Look, relax-" But I quickly cut her off.
"RELAX? HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT? I DON'T HAVE A HOUSE ANYMORE!"
"I'm sorry. But I'm pregnant. Ben is the father…my family got mad at me and kicked me out of my house. Ben's family did the same. We don't have anywhere to go"
"You should have told me! I can let you stay here!"
"Bella, we need a house for our own"
"And you think I don't? You don't have the right to sell my house! You jerk!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! You don't know how mad I am at myself!"
"You sold the house to Edward Cullen?"
"Yes"
I took a deep breath. I'm so angry at her.
"I need the money back Angela…I want it NOW!"
"I can't! I already bought you and Alice an apartment and mine for my own" She said. Alice knew…maybe she's been trying to call me but since my phone died, she didn't had time to tell me.
"DO SOMETHING!"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO? Gosh! Bella! I'm pregnant! Do you want the baby to die?"
"That's just a fetus! It's not yet a baby! Whatever! Gah! Not because I'm your bestfriend, I have to do favors to you. I will sue you if you don't return the money back to Edward"
Then she cried in the phone.
"I'm sorry bella, please don't! This baby needs parents! Bella please!"
And now, she's begging.
"How did you got the certificate of ownership of this house?" I calmly said as much as I can. I don't want to be the cause of the death of her baby.
"Your back door is jammed. Last Thursday, we stole it"
"Shit! Gosh! What will I do now Angela? You're killing me!" I cried again…
"I'm sorry. Really…." Then she hung up.
I texted Alice and told her where am I. She said the address of the apartment.
I don't want to get out of this house. This is my house…my family's house.
I gave back Edward his phone but didn't plan on getting out of the couch.
"What are you planning now?"
"I don't know!" I'm still crying…my head hurts!
"I'm sorry"
"Don't feel sorry, if you really do…return my house back!"
"I can't do that, I spent a lot of money for this…if I knew this is your house, I shouldn't buy it"
"FUC-" He quickly cut me off.
"You know what? I hate it when you shout at me! It's not my fault I coincidently bought your house!"
I frowned then walked out of my house. He locked the door and I crossed my arms.
Wait, how the hell am I going to go to Alice's apartment if I don't have a car? His limousine is already gone! SHIT! ARGHHHHHH!
"EDWARD!" I knocked and he didn't answered.
Shit.
EPOV
Ok, so maybe destiny made us to be mad at each other.
Destiny? Whatever. I am still in shock that this is her house but it's not my fault right? And why should I give her this house? I bought it!
"EDWARD!" She shouted. I went upstairs and got shower. Maybe she's gone now…good. I hate her big mouth…it's so loud.
When I got to bed, it's raining heavily. I put earphones in my ears then went to sleep. Part of me felt sorry for Bella…she didn't deserve this…I heard her say to Angela that this is the memory of her parents to her…
I woke up early. Sunday! Good thing, I don't have any filming or premieres today…I'm still tired. I went downstairs and opened the TV. I cooked waffles for breakfast.
Before eating, I looked outside. Can't believe I forgot to lock it last night.
When I opened the door, I got shocked. Bella is at the porch, sleeping?
It is still raining and she's here outside? Shit.
"Bella, get up now" I told her and she didn't responded.
"Alice might be looking for you, go home" I said then tried to wake her up. She just moaned.
Is she really like this when she's sleeping?
"Bella!" Again, she moaned. There is something wrong with her.
I touched her forehead and she's freaking hot! I quickly carried her to the couch in the living room. She had fever.
I quickly called the family doctor to go here. I gave him the address and she said she'll be here in minutes.
Geeh, She's really sick! Is she always sick? Last time she's at my house, she's sick too…not this house, the cullen's house.
As I wait for the doctor, I stared at Bella. Her lips is pale…I run upstairs and got a sheet for her not to get cold.
Geez, where the heck is that doctor is?
I touched Bella's cheek…hope you'll be okay.
The door bell rang. I held the umbrella, opened it and walked to the gate. I opened it and let the doctor came in. She went to the living room and saw Bella.
"Your girlfriend right? Congratulations" She said. I just nodded.
She checked up Bella, she said it's just a cold. She gave me her medicines…I sighed in relief.
When she woke up, she looks so tired. She's still wearing her gown, make-ups…etc. Shit.
"I'm sorry" I mumbled and she sat up.
"hmm? For what?"
"You shouted 'Edward' last night and I didn't answer back. I should have known you don't have anywhere to go last night since you don't have a car with you"
"It's okay. You don't care…I know it"
"You have a fever…here are the medicines. I let the doctor checked you up here"
She frowned but took it.
"Oh"
"Mind telling me why you are always sick?"
"It's nothing. I just…I walked then the rain poured down….my clothes are wet and I went back to your house…and slept with wet gown" She laughed a little. Now I felt worse for her.
"Let's eat breakfast then take the medicines, then borrow my clothes upstairs. I'll drive you to Alice later"
"Okay. Thanks"
And now she's saying thank you to me? After what I did? Thank you? It should be I hate you Edward. She's such an angel to say thank you and forgive me again so easily.
BPOV
We ate waffles. Gosh, my head hurts! I took the medicines like what he said.
As he ate, I stared at him….
Are you created just to give me problems Edward? Huh?
"How about let's make a deal?" He said, looking at me.
"What deal?"
"Pretend to be my girlfriend and when I got Tanya back, I'll give your house back"
Should I do this? I asked myself.
Call me stupid but I want my house back. What he's saying is not so difficult…maybe?
"For how long?" I whispered.
"Not more than a year" He said.
"Okay, but let's make rules"
"What rules?"
"I stay here"
"Me too" He mumbled.
"We can't"
"Let's both live together…no one will know"
"Really? EVEN ALICE will know that! Besides I don't want people to think I'm a whore"
"People will understand…"
"Whatever"
"Let's make more rules, list it all and let's sign a contract later" He said.
"Agreed"
He watched the dishes as I went upstairs. I felt good now. I took shower then wrapped a towel around me. I went to his room which is my room before.
"Edward, what am I going to wear here?" I shouted. Minutes later, he is at the door.
"Hmm?" He asked innocently, chewing a bubble gum.
He looked for me from feet to my head. I shivered then looked away. I blushed, of course. I'M JUST IN TOWEL!
"You look hot" He mumbled.
"Geeh, stop it! What should I wear here?" I repeated my questions.
"You can wear nothing" He jokingly answered. I looked at him then laughed too.
"Seriously…"
"You can wear my boxer and a pair of t-shirt"
"Okay" He went out and closed the door. I obeyed what he said. All his clothes are new…what the hell?
I took a blue boxer shorts and a gray t-shirt.
The t-shirt is too big for me, it covered the boxers…
I brushed my hair with my hand and went downstairs. I know I don't have any fever now…
"Sheesh! Sexy" He muttered, I saw him watching a movie in the TV.
"Who me or the girl in the TV?" I jokingly asked and sat beside him.
"You, of course" He looked at me, no stared at me. He leaned slowly and I slapped him lightly. He laughed and I did too.
"Ahaha, afraid to be kissed again" He teased.
"Kiss is a big thing for me"
"Really?" Then he leaned again, his lips inches from mine. I covered his mouth then giggled.
"STOP IT EDWARD!" I let go of him and we both laughed.
"Alright, okay! I'll go take a shower" He said then got up.
Few minutes later, the door bell rang.
"EDWARD!" I shouted. He went down only with a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Why didn't you open it?"
"What if it was for you? This is your house now, not mine" I said.
He opened it and I continued watching a TV.
"It's for you" Edward said to me.
"Who is it?" I shouted and Edward let the person come in.
Jacob. I quickly stood up and went to them.
He looked to me from feet to head. I looked down too. Then he looked at Edward.
Shit! I KNOW WHAT HE'S THINKING!
EDWARD IN TOWEL AND ME WEARING EDWARD'S CLOTHES! OR HE'S THINKING ONLY T-SHIRT!
SHIT!
"Hi" I muttered.
"I'll leave both of you alone, I'll be upstairs" Edward muttered. We both watched him walked upstairs.
"Hey" Jake said.
"Have a seat" We sat at the couch quietly.
"So, I didn't know Edward is staying here"
"Actually this is his house" I bit my lip.
"Huh?"
"He bought it" I muttered.
"Bought it to you?"
"It's a long story" I said.
"Well, I just checked if you're okay"
"Of course I am. What made you think I'm not?"
"I don't know…I mean, I got shocked that you two are together"
"Oh"
"Are you?"
No. Wait…the deal.
"Yeah, we are"
"Why him?" He asked directly to me.
"I love him" I said to convince him. EEWW!
"Oh…well…" Then he looked at my shirt again.
"Look, there's nothing that happened between us okay?"
"Okay…haha, you really know me" He said. Not really…It's just obvious that you want me to explain.
"I just…I got wet with the rain last night and he let me borrowed his clothes"
"Alright"
"Hey, I'm sorry about bailing on you last night. I mean I'm your date…"
"It's okay. I understand"
"Thanks. Uhmmm, is there anything you want to say?"
"Naw" He smiled then stood up.
"I should go now"
"Okay"
Then Edward showed up, walking downstairs.
"Baby, I've got to pick something at my mom. I'll be back before lunch, you wanna come?" He asked wrapping an arm around my waist. BABY? EEEWWWWWWW! Jacob is staring at us.
"Oh, I'm okay here"
Then he kissed me lightly. "Bye"
I blushed. "Bye"
"Hey Jake, you can ride with me…I have my car at the garage" Jacob is still here! GEEZ! HE SAW THE KISS!
"It's okay…I have my own"
"Alright"
I waved goodbye to both of them then locked the door.
GOSH! I'M IN A LOT OF TROUBLE!
Pretending to be his fake girlfriend is a lot harder than I thought it would be!
