"I had to break up with Riley, I had to! He wasn't at fault, but he wasn't someone I could see my future with. Something was missing between us." I said to Emmett.

"What's wrong with you women?" he said with disbelief, "This is the exact reason Kate gave to me while breaking up with me. Like, what does that even mean?"

I smiled weakly and shrugged my shoulders.

He might not be wrong! He was a nice guy, but no! He wasn't the one for me.

We were at a golf resort for Jasper's thirtieth birthday celebration. Alice wanted to do something special for him, and a weekend getaway sounded like a plan! She also thought this would be a good break for Edward. He disagreed at first, but Alice convinced him.

"What is she doing? I'm feeling so embarrassed," Edward said as he saw Alice dancing on the golf course that night. All of us were drunk, but Alice was losing it.

"That crazy woman is not my sister," Edward said to the people around us, which made me laugh out loud. I was glad he was having a good time after a long time! Last four months been unimaginably tough for him, and I thought he deserved this short break.

"She's also not my sister," Emmett joined him and I laughed harder.

"And she is not my girlfriend," Jasper said while recording a video of Alice.

"What's wrong with you guys? She's just having fun!" I defended Alice.

Edward snorted and rolled his eyes.

"This shouldn't be a definition of 'fun'!" he said, "This is pure craziness!"

"Whatever..." I said and I joined Alice and began dancing. Jasper and Emmett joined us soon after that, but Edward didn't, so I went to him, and grabbed his hand to join me. He said he didn't join at first, but when he did... Well, he set my heart on fire! The way his hands roamed around my body... It made me lose my hand! Maybe it was just the alcohol, maybe it was not!

"I guess I'll have a few more drinks," he said after some time.

He didn't leave his chair after that, and he didn't take his eyes off me. There was something so crazy about him looking at me so intensely! Or maybe he wasn't looking at me at all? Maybe I was just drunk!

"I'm going to crash," I slurred after some time, "I hope I can make it to my room."

"I can help you," Emmett offered the help, but he lost the balance.

"That's hilarious." I laughed, "Did you see that?" I shouted at everyone, "Emmett just lost his balance! He just fell! Did you see that, Alice?" I wasn't sure why exactly I was finding it so funny! It was definitely alcohol!

"Maybe you should help yourself first," I saw Edward helping him get up from the ground, and soon after that I found his arms around me.

"I'll take you to your room," he said.

Was this a dream or a reality? Were Edward's arms actually around me?

I felt so secure in his arms. I wanted to stay like that forever! I had fucking lost my mind!

He helped me get to my room, "You okay?" I heard him asking me at the door.

I didn't know what I was doing. I pulled him closer so our mouths were inches apart from each other's.

"Bella..." he sighed and I moaned as a reaction. My name sounded so different in his voice!

"Don't do this." He breathed against my lips, "Please!"

"Okay." I said as I pulled myself away from him. What the fuck was I doing anyway!

"Fuck." He said as he entered the room and kicked the door behind him.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer, "I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore." he breathed.

What?

"What... What do you mean?" I asked.
