Chapter 17

Game

Three steps away from my room when Edward caught my arm. I looked at him and Jacob stopped walking.

"What?" I asked harshly.

"A minute of talk?" He asked me but he looked at Jake.

"I'll wait for you at my car Bella" Jacob said then went away. I walked inside the room and closed the door so no one can hear us.

"One minute" I told Edward.

"You and I both know that dating Jacob tonight will break our deal right?"

"Of course"

"Then why are you going out with him?"

"That rule 'no dating and flirting' are changed now. I created that rule…I want to change it" I smiled at him.

"You can't change rules"

"That's one of my conditions if you want me back as your toy again"

"You are not my toy. Conditions? What conditions?"

"I only three"

"Tell me" He demanded.

"One: dating and flirting with others are allowable" I walked to him and he looked at me like he hates that new rule.

"Two?" He asked impatiently.

"I will not sleep again at the guest room. I want my real room, second floor"

"Fine" He said.

"Last would be…talk to your sister"

"Are you insane? My personal life doesn't have to deal with your new rules"

"You don't want to? Fine. Deal is off" I said, walking away.

I gasped when he suddenly turned me around and pulled me closer to him.

"Why do you want me to talk to my sister?" He whispered almost as if he's mad.

I pulled away from him and crossed my arm.

"Because you hurt her, say sorry to her so you and Rosalie would be okay. I will only give you one day. Tomorrow afternoon, if she didn't told me you two are okay…the deal's automatically off"

"If I did, will you go back to my house tomorrow afternoon?" He asked.

I nodded.

"Why are you dating Jacob? Is this something for you to get revenge on me? Tell me the truth" He held my eyes with his stare.

YES! EDWARD! I HOPE YOU'LL BE JEALOUS SO YOU'LL REALIZE I AM MORE WORTHY TO FIGHT FOR THAN YOUR TANYA!

"No" I told him, still staring back.

"You didn't answer my first question"

"Not everything is about the Edward Cullen. Okay? Like you've said, personal life doesn't have to deal with rules…with us"

"You can't date him. What if someone saw?"

"I can handle myself" I said coolly.

"If an interviewer rushed on you, don't blame me" He smiled.

"I told you I can handle myself okay? So can you get out of this apartment so I can locked the door now"

He did and we both went elevator, not talking at each other…or even looking.

When I saw Jake's car, I turned around to Edward.

"Good luck with Rose" I said and smiled. I went inside Jake's car…good thing the rain is over now. Just as I was about to close the door, Edward stopped me. I quickly frowned at him.

"Jake" He said. Whoah…what's going on?

"Yeah?" Jacob answered.

"Take care of Bella and you two have fun" He said and smiled at me. He's teasing me!

"Sure" Jake told him.

"You want a ride Ed?" Jacob asked politely.

"No, actually my driver's already here" Edward said then Edward closed the car's door. I looked to where he is going…I didn't notice a car behind.

"I'm sorry for that" I immediately told Jacob without thinking.

He laughed at me then started the engine and drove.

"Sorry? You're hilarious" He said then laughed again. I laughed too...

"So, is he mad?" Jacob started a conversation.

"No" I quickly said.

"Well is it true you two are together again?" Jacob asked.

"Yeah" I exhaled.

"Why? I mean, you said you hate him"

"Second chance" I said…Why are we talking about my fake-relationship with Edward?

"Second chance is given not to be abused, but for a person to change" Jake said.

"Exactly. He promised me he'll change"

"If you two are together again, why'd you date with me tonight? Isn't this supposed to be your date with him? A reunion like?"

"I told you yes this morning remember? Not on Edward"

"You don't sound happy that you gave him a second chance"

Sheez. He caught me.

"Well I'm just not in the mood" I said. "Wait, why are we talking about Edward anyway?"

"You're right. What do you want to talk about?"

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see" He said and he suddenly stopped the car. I looked around, it's a park…what are we doing here?

"We're not playing swings right?" I asked and he laughed.

"Of course not, we're not kids" He muttered.

We went to the park and I watched him set things up.

Picnic. We're going to do picnic in a wet park. Seriously?

"Sorry, I didn't know it would rain" He said. Can he read minds? No. It was just a coincidence.

"No it's okay" I said, totally lying. I sat and he pulled out the foods from the basket.

Sandwich, roasted chicken, barbeque and juice.

I need rice! Hahaha.

But I ate it anyway…okay so since me and Jacob talked a lot, there is nothing new about our conversation.

"So, who is this girl you were talking about at your interview?" I suddenly asked and he laughed.

"I was joking there…guess I will never had a chance to steal that girl"

"Who is she?"

"You wouldn't know her either if I told you the name"

Fine. You don't to say, who cares?

I'm really bored. BORING DATE EVER! Alright, I'm so bad for saying that. I told him yes, I should suffer. I just…its dark. I dressed properly not for some picnic where it is cold and the place is wet. How can I enjoy this?

"You don't seem to enjoy this…" He muttered.

"I feel sick" I admitted. Sick for being boring because I'm a girl who is picky.

"Sick?"

"Headache" I lied. Yeah…There. Please tell me you'll take me home now.

"Do you want to go home and rest?" YES! BINGO!

"Yeah, is that okay?" I asked.

"Of course" He quickly arranged our things and helped me stood up.

"I'm sorry Jake, I ruined our date" No you did! I'm really bad right now.

"No you didn't, I had fun" He said. Good for you.

In less than 5 minutes, I was already at my apartment. He smiled at me and told me goodnight. I quickly went inside and dressed up into my sleeping attire.

Argh. If I have to pick a guy to make Edward jealous, someone who can make me smile. But I know Jacob is the best…Maybe I'm just bothered tonight that's why I didn't enjoyed our date.

Edward. Always Edward. It's shouting in every though I have, getting my attention.

He would never be jealous so why should I try?

I sighed. Great…Edward tricked me again. Why did I say yes? I just told him no earlier than after minutes, I ate my words! What's wrong with me?

EPOV

Dating with my co-star Jacob is the stupidest thing Bella had ever done into her life.

ARGGHHH! Why am I so affected by their date tonight?

I took shower and the water calmed me. Don't think of Bella tonight please.

But then again, all I could think was her. Her deals…talk and say sorry to my sister? What does she think she is? A goddess? I would eat my pride and went to my sister just to get Bella back?

If we hadn't gone far into this, I would pick another girl but Bella seems okay into going back here…

GEEZ! My head will burst.

That morning, I went straight to Rosalie. I saw her sitting below the tree, it was really early. Maybe one hour before the classes start. I sat beside her and she gasped.

"Edward?" She asked.

"Can we talk?" I said…looking straight at the cheerleaders who are also early.

"About what?"

I finally looked at her eyes.

"You're my sister. You are right. I'm stupid. But Rosalie, I didn't cheat on Bella. I'm sorry for shouting at you…what I did was wrong. Completely wrong"

"Ed…"

"I feel so bad for doing that to you"

"I forgive you" She easily said.

"That easy?" I asked.

"You're my little brother, besides I did a mistake too. I jumped into conclusions without asking you first, so forgive me too?"

"Of course"

"Ed…what makes you say sorry to me?" She asked.

I looked away; back to the cheerleaders who giggled when they saw me looked at them.

"Bella. She told me things that made me realized what I did" That's the truth. She told me I hurt Rose.

"Bella? I thought she is mad at you"

"We are back now" I said, smiling.

"Great…don't ruin your second chance Edward"

"I won't" I agreed.

"Since when are you two together again?"

"Last night" I admitted.

"So the video is real?"

"What video?" I frowned.

"In the rain…there's no kissing don't worry"

"I know there isn't but they caught us…I mean they filmed the thing where I told Bella I'm sorry?"

"There is no sounds at all. All we see is the rain is heavy and you were out there, without umbrella. The video started when Bella saw you and she shouted something, she tried to pull you out but you won't"

I laughed. Good thing no one heard.

"I didn't know there are paparazzis there…"

"Be used to it. I wouldn't be surprised that our conversation is already at the news after minutes"

"This is wrong. Rose, inside the school…paparazzis can't go in but still, there are pictures of me and even videos from school coming out. I think someone is a spy here"

"You do? I noticed that too. Remember the video sent to all the phones here?"

"Video?"

"You two in the library?"

"Oh what about that?"

"It came out too. I didn't know you don't know that"

"Someone is really spying here. I'll take an eye of it" I said.

"Edward, thank you for confronting me. I would be so mad at myself if we stayed like enemies again for years" Rose said.

"Thank you too for forgiving me"

She smiled.

"I got to go, I need to talk to someone" I stood up and walked inside the building. I smiled to see Bella in front of her locker. She's early too…wonder why.

"Hey princess" I said, resting my back at the locker beside her. She gasped, surprised that someone suddenly spoke. She looked at me then grabbed some things inside it then walked.

I stared at the chocolates, flowers, bears, balloons and letters in her hands. Those were not from mine…She put it on the trash can as few guys pouted.

Bella got admirers? Wow.

She went back to her locker, ignoring me and I walked behind her and put both my hands on her hips. She jumped off a little but didn't push my hands away. I smiled at that.

"Get off" She whispered, not wanting the other people hear.

"Me and rose are okay now" I whispered in her ear, she shivered.

"Good"

"That means you're my girlfriend again starting now" I told her then kissed her neck. She flinched and turned around to look at me, frowning. She was about to say something but stopped when I placed my hands against the locker on either side of her head. She stepped back, her back pressing at the lockers. I leaned closer, trapping her.

"Whether you like it or not" I whispered to her.

"I don't know if you and Rose are really alright now. You still have no right to do this" She said and I smiled. She looks uncomfortable.

She looked at my side. I supposed she's looking at everyone who is watching us right now. Then she looked back at me…

"You want to play huh?" She teased me… then she smiled. I lifted her face so I can see her eyes clearly.

"What game?" I smiled back…

She touched my lower lip. "You'll know" She said pushed me lightly then started walking away.

I stared at her back then shook my head…why am I smiling?

Game? What game? She's really interesting.

BPOV

I did not know what just happened. All I know is that I'm blushing every time I remember what happened this morning.

Edward's touches kill me. Good thing he doesn't seem to notice that. Game? He might be so curious right now. Well my game would be easy…I'll be sweeter with him until he starts to hate it and tell me deal off. And since I have admirers now; I have the guts to say that I'm beautiful now. He had so many girls shouting his name…

Let's see who will act like jealous first. I wonder how I'll do that.

"Why are you blushing?" Jacob said, putting my presence back to earth. Our math teacher were still not inside the room.

"What?" I asked again.

"You are blushing"

"No I'm not" Geez. Even he can notice I'm blushing.

"Lemme see, this had nothing to do with the date"

"Why would I blush because of our date?" I asked. Oops.

"Well…I don't know. Is this about Edward again?" He asked.

"Huh?"

"You did not know about the video again?" Jacob asked.

"Video?"

"This morning…locker scene" He teased me then gave me his phone.

Everything is in there besides our voices…I mean; the student who recorded this took the video far from us. He recorded everything! From me alone, opening my locker…Edward surprised me, I took the lovers'

Gifts, throw it away, Edward's sweet stuffs until his staring at my back.

"Where'd you get this?" I asked.

"Someone just forwarded this to me. I do not know who sent this to me" He admitted.

I looked around and saw some girls watching it too. I blushed…sheesh.

"This is just around the school right? I mean, no one from the outside will put this on news?"

"I doubt that. In less than hours, you'll see yourself again in the news"

I gave him back his phone just as the teacher went inside.

Does Edward's fans really have to do this? Video us in a regular day of a couple? A fake one? I admit I don't blame them…they didn't know I'm a fake girlfriend and Edward is so popular anyway…

In music, our teacher just gave us some notes. Probably because she's too lazy today.

Free time.

Here we go again.

As I walk at the hallway to my locker, I saw them staring at me AGAIN! A group of girls caught my attention. I tried to listen to their conversation.

"So they are back together?" A blonde short haired girl said.

"What about her date with Jacob?" The other girl said.

"But the way Edward act with Bella this morning is so sweet" The reddish hair spoke.

"Yeah she even touches MY EDWARD's lips" An ambitious brunette told them.

"We'll see at the news eventually" A black hair girl said.

"I'm so jealous of her, she stole Edward and now she's stealing Jacob from us again! ARgh!"

"Yeah but we can't blame her, she's pretty"

"We are prettier" They all replied to the other girl.

"True"

I just rolled my eyes. Whatever.

I stopped a few steps from my locker when I saw Edward resting his back at my locker. When he saw me, he smiled.

"Can I have you at free time or are you busy?" He asked, kinda loud. Everyone looked at us…

He's giving me a choice. If I will spend my time with him or not.

I chose to be with him and I didn't even know why.

Since I remember the game I said, I went to him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He encircled his arms around me automatically.

"You can have me" I murmured and he smiled more. But I can see in his eyes that he's curious why I'm doing this.

"Let's go to our new hiding place" He whispered to my ear then took my books and placed it at my locker.

He held my hands as we walk out of here. I frowned…there will be no more hiding place. The library is pure of girls now and the field is full of football players…

He continued walking until we reached the fourth floor. There is a door on the last one and he opened it.

I looked around, this is the rooftop. I have never been here even though I'm studying here for a long time. I didn't even know the school had a rooftop.

"How did you know there is a rooftop?" I asked sitting on a bench.

"Hmmm" he murmured, staring at the sky.

I had a time staring at him without him knowing. He really looks cute!

Then he looked at me, I quickly looked away. He caught me looking at him. He walked to me and took my hand and pulled me to stand up. I frowned at him…what does he want?

Then he hugged me. I didn't pushed him away because the moment I inhaled his breath, I knew I have to enjoy being with him.

"Ed?" I asked but he didn't answer.

Hug is better than words though. They say when a person hugs you tight, you'll feel how much he loves you but even if I want to believe in that…I can't think that Edward would love me. I mean, he's perfect and I'm not.

I'm just a tutor.

I'm just a fake girlfriend.

This is complicated.
