Happy birthday to pinklady34 - you own this second update to her! :D
Bella:
"Edward, why do you have a black eye?" I try to move off him, but his arms make a cage around me. He sits up, and presses his lips against mine. "Have you been drinking?" I demand, tasting alcohol on his tongue. I reach over and grab my water from my bedside table to take the taste away.
"Baby, le's jus' have sex. Talk in mornin'," Edward slurs, reaching forward to kiss me again.
"No. We talk now," I tell him firmly, walking over and covering myself up in a dressing gown.
"I don't wanna!" Edward whines, pouting.
"Were you in a fight?" I ask, ignoring his pleading. He just shrugs. "Who with?" I demand. He looks at him lap.
"No one," he mumbles.
"Who?" I shout, getting angry and worried.
"Jasper," he admits.
"Your PA? Why?" Instead of answering, Edward just grabs my hips and pulls me into my lap.
"Sleep now." He yawns largely, pulling me down to lie against him. Before he falls asleep, I grab a mint from my bedside table and shove it in his mouth.
"Eat," I command, needing to get rid of the smell.
*******CIWYW********
The next morning, I wake up to the sounding of vomiting coming from the bathroom.
I guess this is what it feels like to be a man in a pregnancy.
Though, I have no sympathy for Edward. Karma, if you ask me.
When Edward walks back into our bedroom, I cock the bitch brow. I'm sat on our bed, wearing a top and some shorts, arms crossed. I am not happy.
"About last night…" Edward trails off. I look over his appearance, even worse than what I saw last night. His one eye is surrounded in a dark purple bruise, his lip is cut, he has various other cuts on his face, and what looks to be dried blood in his hair.
"You mean when you felt me up to try and make me not notice how drunk and beaten up you were?" I huff, annoyed as hell. He nods remorsefully. "What the hell happened? When I tried to ask you last night, you just told me we should have sex." Edward almost smiles at this. Almost, because he then winces because of his injuries.
"Jasper and I had a little…disagreement," Edward frowns. It's as if even he can see how shit his excuse is.
"About what?" I sigh, feeling like a parent. I hope to god we have a girl purely so she won't get in fights. Well, at least she'd be less likely to.
"Alice," Edward shrugs, like that explains everything. I remain staring at him, waiting for his answer. "Fine! Jasper asked if he could go on a date with Alice!" Edward sighs, shrugging once more.
"Oh, how dare he?" I mock sarcastically. Edward glares at me.
"After what happened to her, yes!" he shouts to me.
"So you're going to beat up every guy that comes close to her?" I shout back. "Have you thought that maybe Jasper might help Alice? Or that Alice might be able to make her own decisions?" I lower my voice a little.
"I failed her as a brother before, I won't again," Edward states firmly. My anger lessens as I walk over to comfort him.
"You didn't fail her," I tell him, gently placing my hand on his arm. "Being with Jessica, was that failing her? Helping her through her recovery?" I remind him.
"You don't know everything," he shrugs, looking down at the ground.
"I do know that Alice and Esme are gonna be pissed," I joke, trying to ease some of the tension.
"Are you still pissed?" he asks, looking up at me.
"A little. I think you're gonna need stitches on your lip." I gently brush my fingers over the cut on his lip.
"You should see Jasper!" Edward boasts, then he sees my expression. "Uh, I mean, you should see him to speak to him," he nods to back up his lie.
"Were you drunk when you had your fight?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Maybe a little," Edward admits.
I'm about to reply; only there's a loud, persistent knocking on the door. Edward gulps. I smirk. I push Edward out of the room to let him answer that while I get dressed.
"YOU JACKASS!"
