Edward's POV of Chapter 2
I was trying to pay attention to the dicussion but it was very difficult with Irina's and Kate's voices screaming in my head. Tanya is my cousin and besides, they know I have a girlfriend.
I smiled when I heard Alice think the same. I couldn't help but smile like an idiot when she mentioned checking up on Bella. It's amazing how happy she made me and my family.
That smile left as fast as it came when I saw Alice's vision.
My fist balled and I clenched my jaw. How could she? I thought she loved me.
I'm sorry. Alice thought. I nodded tho I knew it wasn't her fault. She didn't make Bella do this. It just didn't make sense. I thought we were so in love.
In a strange way, I'm glad she had that vision. Now I knew. I guess this was a good thing... for her. She finally sound someone actually worthy of her and not just another pretty face. Someone that's not putting her in danger every second he is with her. Someone that can give her the family she deserves.
I'm not mad at Bella. I'm happy for her, but I will always love her. And she is the only thing keeping me from killing myself. I made a promise to her I wouldn't do such actions.
The voices of Kate and Irina filled my head again, but louder this time. Screaming at me to ask Tanya to dance. I looked at Tanya. She still had she head in her hands. I was the only one of my family that knew she wasn't really hurting. I knew because she slipped up once trying not to think about it. She was faking to get with me. Maybe I should ask her to dance if she's that desperate, and to get Irina and Kate off my back.
I walked over to Tanya and her head shot up. I tried to put on a smile, hoping it wouldn't come out as a grimace.
Edward, don't. Alice thought at me. I ignored her. I'll explain later.
"Would you like to dance?" I asked politely.
Almost immediately she took my hand and lead me to the dance floor. She was doing a happy dance in her head.
Suddenly the song change and Tanya began dry humping me. She then turned around and began shaking her behind in my groin area. I can honestly say it wasn't turning me on. It was then that I noticed her choice in attire.
Her red tank top showed off her perfectly toned midriff. I showed a lot of her cleavage. Her breast were in my face almost the whole while. Her miniskirt stopped mid thigh and everytime she took at step it lifted just enough to see that she was wearing a thong. The skirt didn't help at all to cover anything now that she was bending over with her ass in the air.
I looked over to my family and to my surprise they were all staring with shocked expressions. Irina and Kate were giggling and whispering to each other about my facial expression. They knew she was going to do this and that pissed me off.
Most of the people in the club were staring at us. The men were staring at Tanya, wishing they were me. If they wanted her, be my guest. I have-... had someone better than her.
I sighed and walked back to my table.
A few men had taken my place, but Tanya didn't seem to have noticed.
Everyone was still worring when we got back to the house since I hadn't said a word since Alice had the vision. Alice was furious and already plotting her revenge for a situation that had nothing to do with her.
"Alice please stay out of this. I can handle this myself." I told her once we were alone, my room.
"No Edward!" Alice screamed. "She cheated and your just going to forgive her like that? No!" I heard a gasp come from downstairs. Great, now everyone knew what happened.
"Alice," I started, trying not to raise my voice. "As long as she is happy I-" But she cut me off before I could finish.
"Edward you are so old fashioned! This is the 21 ceuntry! Get with the freakin' program! Your supposed to be pissed off!" She yelled. I didn't say anything; I was busy thinking.
In a way, she was right. I should be angry, but I couldn't find it in me to hate Bella. I love her too much. Alice knew that and sighed, then pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration.
"Edward, listen to me. You and Bella have been together for almost two years now." She said. My eyes got weary; I knew where she was going with this. She wanted me to just as mad at Bella as she was. Why? I couldn't figure that out, even with my gift. "You two are supposed to be soulmates but she cheated." I could hear her voice rising and lowering awkardly as a precaution to stay calm.
She didn't need to go on for me to know what she was going to say, but again, she was right. Bella was supposed to be my wife, but she didn't even have the decency to tell me she didn't want to be with me anymore or even tell me she was ready for a physical relationship for that matter, not that I would allow it in the first place.
This did make me angry.
I couldn't help but wonder; was she going to tell me about her affair? This made me more angry. I snorted as I remembered her words, telling me to go have fun. I bet she just wanted me to go so she could have her "fun". How long has this even been going on for anyways? And why hasn't Alice seen anything like this before? How long was she going to keep leading me on? Was this funny to her? Who the hell was she doing it with?
When I came from out a daze I hadn't knew I was in, Alice was still there staring at me irritated expression, but I ignored her. That is until I heard what she was thinking.
Using Tanya to make Bella jealous was a plan that was sure to work. Only because Bella thinks I would choose Tanya over her. It was silly of her to think such a thing. Tanya could never turn me on the way Bella does. She was just another shallow, pretty face. But Bella, on the other hand, was a beautiful, selfless, human being. And one of those three things was the reason we shouldn't be together. I was too dangerous for her.
"Maybe she should learn a lesson." Alice said with a smirk. I shook my head and rolled my eyes. I wanted no part in hurting Bella and was positive Carlisle and Esme wouldn't approve of her doing it either. "Come on Edward, you don't have to hit her or anything. Just pretend you and Tanya are together now. If Bella saw that, then she wouldn't feel so gulity for not telling you she doesn't love you anymore." She exclaimed. I flinched at her last few words. It hurt to think Bella didn't love anymore after all we'd been through.
Was I going crazy or Alice was saying was starting to make a little sense? I mean if Bella has moved on then why shouldn't I? Maybe and hopefully it would rid of some of the pain. I knew for a fact it all wouldn't be gone but it was worth a shot. I nodded once and Alice smiled.
"I can't wait!" She squealed. "Rose, Tanya. We have work to do!" She yelled to them and disappeared into her room with Rosalie and Tanya right on her heels.
Chapter 3
"Ok, so you rememebr the plan right?" Alice asked Tanya and I. We both nodded in union. Tanya giggled and rolled my eyes. She thought it was a sign we belonged together. I thought she was smart enough to know that no one can replace Bella. No one would ever be good enough.
We were standing next to my Volvo, three blocks from school, part of Alice's plan. Which I didn't like at all, but I already agreed and Alice would rip my head off if I backed out now. But she promised she wouldn't hit Bella, unlike in her orignial plan.
I could've gagged when she said part of the plan was to kiss Tanya. The only lips I've ever kissed were Bella's and it would be awkward to kiss Tanya since I wasn't in love with her.
"Make sure your listening to my thoughts when I give the signal." Alice demanded. I nodded unwillingly. "Great." She smiled, and turned and walked away.
Tanya and I got in my car a waited quietly, which I had no problem with. I actually liked it better that way but Tanya, ofcourse, broke the silence.
"So... Alice and I were thinking... about what we said about me staying longer," she told me. My head slowly turned in her direction. "Not for that long though," She quickly exclaimed. "Just so we can get to know each other in a more romantic way." I couldn't believe my ears. How could they plan this without me knowing or disscussing it with me first? But then again, I'd been in my own little world thinking of Bella, maybe they did say something about it.
More time with Tanya? This made me furious. Though, I didn't know why. Something about Tanya was off; she was acting unusal. She was hiding something. And she obviously practiced hiding secrets in her her mind or I would've found out what it was.
We sat there for ten minutes when Alice finally gave the signal. I was relieved. Tanya trying to make small talk was irritating, and very awkward since she was nervous. I tried to pay attention and look interested but I ignored her completely when she babbled into a conversation about sex. When I came to, she was talking about the plans Alice and Rosalie had for Bella. Again, I tuned out. But my head snapped in her direction when I heard the words 'Bella' and 'fight'.
I put the car in drive and sped to the school. Alice wouldn't dare hit Bella. She wouldn't stoop so low... would she?
I turned into the school parking lot and saw Alice looking in my direction with a stupid grin on her face. But in her mind I saw that she didn't hit her. Instead it was part of the plan to get me to the school on time to go along with the plan. Of course she knew that I was actually going to purposely arrive late so we couldn't go through with the plan. This was what Tanya was hiding from me... but that's not the only thing. What else did Alice have planned? I tried to listen in on what she was thinking as I pulled into my usual parking space. But there was nothing else she had planned that I didn't already know of.
I put on a brave face and stepped out of the car. I tried to contain my excitement and happiness when I saw those big, chocolate brown eyes look at me. She looked shocked and I knew why. Bella knew how protective of I was of her and now I was acting as if she wasn't there.
I couldn't help but sneak a quick glance at her as I opened the car door for Tanya. I unwillingly looked away when Tanya pulled me along by the hand. I groaned in fustration. If only... But what kind of gentelmen what I be if I hit a woman... or a succubus.
Tanya didn't want me to look at Bella. She knew I loved Bella more than her. Actually I didn't love Tanya at all. She knew that too. But If only Bella knew that just as much as Tanya did, maybe we would still be together. Maybe that was the reason she cheated; she thought I loved Tanya.
I hated Tanya -at the moment- more than anything or anyone. More than myself even.
A smile spead across my face when I thought of an idea get one last glimse of Bella's beauitful face. I stopped dead on my tracks and turned around. "We'll see you guys later,'' I called to them, but was secretly staring at Bella. When Tanya pulled me forward again. I tried to look into the minds of my siblings or Kate and Irina, to see her face. I was so focused on Bella that I didn't realise what Tanya was thinking. I was suddenly pulled into a fierce kiss. Tanya put her hard, cold lips on mine and tried to push her tougne into my mouth, but I rejected. I didn't even like this what the hell made her think I would want her tougne in my mouth? I don't know where that thing has been.
She didn't think; she knew. She knew I didn't want her in that way but she still held out hoped. Not only did she hope but she also intended on making Bella jealous.
