One Night in Vegas.

Chapter Two.

My eyes opened slowly, and I stared blankly up at the ceiling. It only took me a few seconds to recall what happened earlier and I jumped out of bed, pulling the sheet with me. I had no idea what happened to my clothes during the night, but I'm sure I could guess where the might be. I wrapped the sheet around me and headed towards the bedroom door, stopping when the sounds of frantic whispering hit my ear.

"What do you mean your her husband!" A woman hissed and I immediately rejoiced. I recognized that voice. Alice was here to save me! "You know nothing about her. Do you even know her name."

"Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan- Cullen." He the man said in a cocky manner. I could just imagine the smirk on his face and,oh, how I wanted to smack it off. "She also grew up in Phoenix, Arizona with her mom, Renee, but moved to Forks, Washington to live with her dad, Charlie, when she was seventeen."

I blushed. Damn. I talked too much when I was drunk.

Alice groaned in frustration. "So, you managed to get a every talkative drunk." She said through the grit of her teeth. "You know nothing but the fundamentals."

"I know more then that." He said, his voicing becoming softer. I pressed my ear to the door to hear better. Alice huffed, laughing angrily. "You know," She said, the annoyance and angry in her voice now gone. What happened to change her mood so quickly. "What?" Edward asked, sounding unsure. And then it was quiet again. What the hell was going on out there?

Annoyed, I flung the door open and stepped out, holding the sheet to me as close as I could as I marched over to them. They obviously weren't far because I could here their attempt at whispering. The both turned their heads to look at me as I approached them. Edward's eyes widened a bit and his lips curled in to a huge grin.

"Um." Alice murmured, clearing her throat as she looked away. "That sheet is completely see through." I blinked and looked down only to turn a violent shade of red. Oh, my, god! You could see everything I owned. I heard my so called husband chuckled and I looked up and glared at him. "Stop looking!" I screeched.

He bit his lip and looked away for a moment, but to my annoyance his eyes quickly drifted back and I glared at him. "Bella, please, it's not like he hasn't see you before." Alice said, her own lips curling into a smile. What the hell was wrong with her? Wasn't see trying to help me out of this a second ago? What happened that I couldn't see?!

Edward cleared his throat, gaining my attention. "I put your clothes in the wash." He said softly, taking a step toward me. I looked up at him as he toward over me and I couldn't stop the blush forming on my cheeks. He smiled at me and leaned down, pressing his lips to the top of my head. "I'll go get them for you." I gently pushed him away, not liking the attention he was giving me, especially not in front of Alice, and he chuckled walking away.

"I'm a little disappointed that I wasn't invited to the wedding." Alice said, her bottom lip pouting out. I narrowed my eyes at her, holding the sheet over my chest more. "Don't even start." I seethed. I took a deep breath and bit my lip. "You're going to help me get this annulled right." Alice shrugged and my jaw dropped. "What's that suppose to mean?" I whined.

Alice licked her bottom lip before smiling at me. "He doesn't want the marriage annulled." She said simply. What did she mean? He couldn't possibly want to stay married to a stranger. It was crazy! He was crazy! "I'm completely happy having you as my wife." He said from behind me and I blushed again. Stupid eavesdropper.

I turned and faced him, snatching my clothes from his hold. "I'll be back." I practically growled as I stomped away, even though I knew it wasn't necessary for me to hide when getting dressed. They have both obviously seen me naked before, but that wasn't the point. I wanted to keep at least some of my dignity.

I dressed quickly and returned to the living room where they were both now sitting in silence. "I'm not staying married to you." I said point blank. Edward looked up at me, his brow furrowing in confusion. "I promised you I'd take care of you and love for the rest of your life. I'm not breaking that promise to you. You are staying."

Oh brother. I rolled my eyes groaning. "It's not exactly breaking a promise if I don't remember... and love me come on!" I snorted, crossing my arms over my chest. He narrowed his eyes, glaring at me, and I stuck my nose in the air in attempt to look away. It didn't work too well. I could still feel his eyes on me and my heart skipped a bit. What the hell was he doing to me?

"Don't question how I feel for you." He said sternly, through his teeth. I laughed. I couldn't help it. He was being completely ridiculous in thinking that he could possibly be in love with me. He didn't know me, and he wasn't going to get to know.

"Should I arrange some kind of therapy appointment for you two? You know for marriage troubles?" Alice asked. Edward and I both turned our heads and glared at her. "No!" We growled. I turned my head to stare at him, eyes wide, in shock. "Our marriage is completely fine." He continued, and my shock turning into disbelief.

I looked to Alice who raised an eyebrow. "Why aren't you helping me?" I demanded.

"I tried." She said simply and I growled in annoyance. "What? I can't help that you didn't like my idea."

"What happened to all that angry you had earlier?" I asked with a pout.

Alice blinked.

"You heard us?" Edward asked.

"Yes." I continued pouting.

Alice merely shrugged. "I'm on my period." She said. "My moods are every where. Now that I think about..." Alice pouted now. "I'm very upset with you. I thought you loved me."

I tilted my head to the side, watching as she now got to hear feet and put her hands on her hips. I heard Edward's weight shift on his feet, causing the floor to creek. "I do..." I answered carefully.

"Then why the hell wasn't I invited to the wedding!" She whined, throwing her hands in the air.

Oh. My. GOD! My hands followed Alice's to the air. "I give up!" I yelled. "I can't take this! I'm leaving." I said, stomping towards the door. Just as I turned the door knob Edward's fingers encircled my wrist.

"Where are you going?" He asked, his voice deep with concern.

I snorted, pulling my wrist free. "Didn't I just say I was leaving?"

Edward sighed, reluctantly allowing his hand to fall to his side. "Yeah, got that much. But where exactly? And when can I expect you home?" He asked sounding worried. Ha! He should! I think... Either way I wasn't coming back here.

"Does it matter?" I asked, succeeding in opening the door this time. I groaned loudly when Edward grabbed my wrist again.

"Bella please." Edward begged. "At least let me come with you."

No. No. No. NO! I shook my head violently. "You had me all night." I said harshly. "I want to be alone now."

Edward frowned and released my wrist and looked down to the floor. "Should I bring your suit case here?" Alice asked, appearing behind Edward, who perked up a bit at her suggestion.

I glared at her. "Yeah, no thanks."I muttered heading out the door, slamming it behind me.

-The Forbidden Fruit Tastes the Sweetest-

I wondered around aimless for almost two hours, but in the end I ended up back at the hotel room Alice and I got together when we first got to Vegas. When I got to the door I groaned pressing my forehead against the cool wood. I didn't have my key. It was in my purse... Which I was hoping was at Edward's house.

I curled my fingers into a fist and I pounded on the door, hoping Alice was back already. I got no answer. Just my luck. I turned, pressing my back to the door and slide down, pouting. I'd sit here and wait for her. With out my purse it was either that, or going back to Edward's.

I groaned at that thought, lifting my knees and wrapping my arms around my legs. He was a gorgeous man and an amazing lover. He'd make a great husband someday, but it just wasn't going to be to me. One failed marriage was enough. I couldn't leave through two. I knew that for a fact. I laughed softly. Edward said he was in love with me, but so did Jacob, and look where that left me. There wasn't enough of my heart left to allow to be broken again.

After waiting about thirty minutes I got tired of sitting there and stood, taking a deep breath. Maybe if I walked around awhile I'd find Alice. Knowing her she was off drinking in a strip club somewhere fantasizing about Jasper. Unlike me her marriage was perfect. She has been married to Jasper for seven years and had never had any kind of problems. They were even talking about having children now.

I sighed. Looking up to the sky, my eyes burning with tears. I had never had any desire to have children. Not when Alice talked about. Not when my sister, Rosalie, gave birth to my nephew Everett. Never. Until Jacob told me he was leaving me for his pregnant mistress. I wasn't sure if this was an actual longing for a child of my own, or just a want with hope that it would happen Jacob would want me back.

I wiped the tears from my eyes, sniffling, and began walking faster. No, I didn't want him back. Nor did I want his child. Or anything to do with him anymore. He left me. He wasn't faithful to me. HE didn't deserve me! I was running now, not knowing where my feet were taking me, and before I knew it I was pounding anxiously on someone's door.

The door opened quickly and I looked up into Edward's wide green eyes. I should have known I'd come here... The tears in my eyes began falling free now and Edward swallowed hard, reaching out for me. "Oh, Bella, what happened sweetheart?" He asked, his arms wrapping tightly around my waist, pulling me to his chest.

I clung to his shirt, burying my face in his chest. I wasn't sure what I was doing. I knew I wasn't thinking correctly at all, but this is where I wanted to be right now. No, I needed to be here. Held tightly in his arms. I took a deep breath, choking on it and he rubbed my back, whispering softly in my ear. "It's okay sweety. Shh."

I choked out a laugh. "Shut up Edward." I murmured into his shirt. "You are encouraging me to cry more and your shirt is already soaked."

I felt him press his lips to the top of my head. "That's fine." He said reassuringly. "I've got others." His arms loosened around me, and I frowned. I wasn't ready for him to let go of me, but more importantly I wasn't ready to let him go.

But I did, reluctantly, and was surprised when he grabbed my hand and pulled me back inside his hotel room. I looked up at him as the door closed behind us and his lips instantly crashed against mine. I could get used to that. I sighed against his lip, my body tingling as his hands trailed up and down my arms. Just as I was about to throw my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss, he pulled away, looking into my lust filled eyes- his green ones glowing.

"I missed you." He said simply, brushing a stray tear from my eye. He was frowning now. It didn't fit his perfect angel like face, and I wished he would stop. "But you miss him." He said taking a deep breath and taking a step away.

I stared at him in shock for a moment. But how... I watched Edward slowly turn away, heading for the kitchen and I reached out to him. "No! Wait!" I yelled, taking a step forward. Feeling the familiar ache in my heart, but was unsure why.

Edward turned to face me, his smile breath taking- literally. "Don't feel guilty Bella. You are my wife. I have all the time in the world to win your heart over, and I will."
