When Tanya and Bella went to the restroom before dessert was served, I turned to Emmett and slapped him upside that head, making him choke on his water.
"Why did you invite Tanya? If I hadn't had Bella with me, I would have left immediately."
"Calm down, Eddie-boy," Emmett said, using the name I hate. "You haven't seen Tanya since she broke your engagement, I thought you should meet her again. It's a good idea for you to see her and Bella together so you know which one you should choose. I did this for your own good."
I groaned. "Out of all the friends I choose to talk to, I pick the one that messes with my affairs for my own good! Bella has handled it well, but I know she knows I'm angry and she's bound to suspect something. It's hard to tell what Tanya might tell her."
Emmett looked over my shoulder, at something and looked back and smiled. "There, here they come now. Calm down and act like you've got a little intelligence."
I smirked. "Says the guy who thought that Santa was real until he was 19, almost 20 years old." I said it quite loudly, so people looked over, and Bella and Tanya were close enough that they surely heard me.
Emmett slapped my arm. "Shut up! You said you'd never tell anyone!!!"
"I just said on purpose. I didn't mean to tell everyone in the restaurant that YOU THOUGHT SANTA WAS REAL UNTIL YOU WERE ALMOST 20 YEARS OLD." I yelled the last part, making sure that everyone heard me loud and clear.
Emmett just shrank down and tried to make himself smaller, a big feat for someone of his size.

Driving back to Redwood, Edward still wasn't talkative, but I chatted about the evening.
"I enjoyed being out again," I said, "so, I'm glad Emmett invited us. It wasn't at all difficult to meet anyone I once knew, like I thought. I had a very nice time. Thank you for taking me along."
"I'm glad you did. Obviously I didn't."
I laughed softly. "I noticed."
"Do you know anything about Tanya?"
"I've seen her name in the paper, and in the news. I liked her, she was nice."
"Tanya is from Alaska, and we were engaged once. She broke the engagement when I…" I noticed his muscles tightening and his hands gripping the wheel. "When I had my accident."
So, Tanya left him when he'd become disfigured?! If his scarred face was a problem in the past, that didn't seem to be an issue tonight. I hadn't been unaware of Tanya's failed attempts to charm Edward out of his bad mood.
"She married someone else and moved away. Emmett told me a few days ago that she is divorced and is living in Alaska again. She's just down for a visit and wanted to get back with me, but those romantic feelings I had for her left a long time ago. I've never forgiven Tanya for the way she treated me, and I'm angry that Emmett invited her tonight."
I put my hand on his arm. "Maybe it's a good thing you saw her tonight. How else would you know if you still had feelings for her or not?"
"That's what Emmett said, and his experiment worked and backfired. I know those feelings are going, but the feelings of betrayal and depression are still raw. I tried to push those down and be kind, act as if she were a perfect stranger, but I couldn't. So, I just ended up hating her more and being cruel."
I wish his words hadn't brought so much pleasure to me. He hated her. That's good right?
I patted his arm one more time and brought it back to my lap. "Then, tonight has been a new beginning for both of us. Once I was able to admit that my former way of life was gone forever, it became easier to talk about the changes in our back. It's taken me to realize, but I now know that material wealth isn't the road to happiness."

I put my arm around Bella's waist while we walked into the house, and she leaned into me. I'd come very close to telling Bella just how much I'd been hurt when Tanya left me while we were driving back, but I didn't know how.
So, when we were at her door, I said goodnight, and started to walk to my room, she did something bold.
She grabbed my wrist, and turned me around.
She kissed my cheek, on a scar.
"Goodnight Edward."
Her door shut quickly, and I was left standing out in the dark hall. My hand was still on my cheek while I sat on my bed before I got under the covers. Where she kissed me, it felt like there was a fire on it.
It was pleasant.
Maybe, just MAYBE, I have a chance.
:D How'd that soothe your wishes for them to kiss? Ok, so it wasn't a full on make-out session, but still. = 3=
ANYWAYS! REMEMBER THE CYCLE!
