Witfit prompt: Corner
And we're back at the coffee shop...
"B, just tell me what I have to do? Don't throw our friendship away."
"That's just the problem, Edward. I can't go back. I'm in love with you."
And there it is.
My vision blurs and I close my eyes. I try to process what she has just confessed. Here. In a little corner in this little cafe.
I've treated her like crap countless times. Yes, I know I have.
I'm not what she needs. I'm not what she deserves- as I've so blatantly proven over the years... especially last year.
"Edward?"
"Hmm?" My eyes are still closed.
"Say something, please." Her voice is a quiver.
I open my eyes an see fear and worry.
She's in love with me.
"What should I say?"
She frowns and just like that fiery Bella is back.
"What should you say? Are you kidding me, Edward? I just told you I'm in love with you, and you ask me what you should say?"
The bite in her voice makes me look away and my palms sweat. I'm pretty sure my heart is beating out of my chest.
She's in love with me.
Love.
I sensed it before. But thought it was just me imagining things. Why would she want to be in love with me?
Bigger question, do I love her?
I open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out.
But then, she speaks again. Her voice a deadly calm.
"Edward. It's time to make a decision."
A/N: Doh! Yes. Another cliffie. But c'mon, I hardly do it in my stories... so suck it up. I update frequently enough... You'll get more coffee shop talk later ;) Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go hide.
FFN is still fail. Sorry. Spread the word. TY to those RTing and reposting the updates on FB, it's a big help!
