"EDWARD CULLEN! What a fantastic surprise! You're back!"
Bella's mouth dropped open.
Her eye started to twitch.
Angela grabbed her wrist. "Whats that Bella? You need to show me something? Urgently? Ok. Lets go to your room." She lugged her immobile friend up the stairs and threw her onto the bedroom floor.
"H...he's back."
"Yes. He is. But you're over him, Bella. Remember?" Angela grabbed Bella's face. "Remember?"
Bella wasn't listening. "Ange! He came back for me! He saw what a big mistake it was to leave and came back!"
"Took him long enough." muttered Angela. "Its been a year. Must've been one hell of a epiphany ...."
Bella shrugged. "Lets get back down there." she grinned. "Theres alot of catching up to do."
"No no no!" Angela slapped her. "Listen. He probably came back because he realised there's a girl on the roll that he hasn't hooked up with yet. Bella? Are you even listening?"
God no. Bella's head was spinning. She was imagining what would happen when she got back down there. In her mind, Edward saw her entering the room. His eyes would light up. He'd push his way through the crowd untill he got to Bella. Then, he would get down on one knee and say, "Remember the 'Big Plans' I wrote about in my parting love letter to you?" In Bella's fantasy, this letter was six pages long, accompanied by a dozen roses. Bella would nod. "Well," he would say, "I went to LA, on the search for a perfect engagement ring and venue for a wedding. Everythings ready baby." He would get down on one knee. People around would have tears streaming down their cheeks. It was just too romantic. "Isabella Marie Sw-"
"Bella! Bitch!" Angela was repeatedly slapping her. "Listen to me. We'll stay up here until.....Bella! Come back you idiot! Ugh." she flopped down onto the bed.
Bella sprinted down the stairs, being sure to check her reflection in the hall mirror as she passed. She stepped in to the dining room and scanned the room for her soon-to-be-fiancee.
"So how was LA, Ed?"
Edward Cullen winced at the nickname he hated so much. "Great. I really did some soul searching." he lied to Charlie Swan.
"Well, Bells is gonna be thrilled to see you. She was devastated when you left." Charlie chuckled. "Actually, I think she kept a few of your old tissues. Oh and wait till you see the shrine..."
Ooo. Cringe.
Edward internally shuddered. That was just plain creepy.
Huh, he thought, speak of the devil and in she walks.
Yah, we could say the same for you buddy.
"Hey gorgeous!" squealed Bella, throwing her arms around his neck.
"Bella." Edward shrugged her off. "Um, I'd like you to meet Tanya." He gestured to the gorgeous blonde behind him. "My girlfriend."
Bella burst out laughing. "You...ha ha ha...Girlfriend. impossible. I'm your girlfriend"
The room had gone quiet and Tanya was staring at Bella like she was a piece of dirt on her shoes.
"You're serious?"
The whole room nodded in unison.
Daaaaaang!
