Chapter 31
Bella's POV
Songs for chapter...
If You're Gone- Matchbox Twenty (Edward)
I Wanna Be With You - Mandy Moore (Bella)
And so I watched his every move...
I watched as he opened his mouth to speak multiple times, only to close it and resume watching me...watch him.
I watched as he roughly tugged on the ends of his hair as his frustration with his failure to communicate grew.
And I watched as he paced, stopping once or twice to look into my eyes, only to commence pacing once again.
At this point, I was exhausted and ready to just shoot his fine ass. I needed to make him stop. All the pacing, muttering and cursing weren't helping matters...as a matter of fact, I found my aggravation growing with his every step.
Lucky for him and his 'ass' he spoke before I was able to pull out the small handgun I carried in my purse for these types of emergencies.
Lucky bastard indeed.
"Princessa," he whispered brokenly, "Baby girl, I'm so, so sorry...how I missed all the clues that are blatantly staring me in the face now, I have no idea. I should have seen the resemblance and pieced this puzzle together along time ago. The moment you gave me your card...with your name on it...the name Swan…that should have been enough to set the bells ringing in my head." His face held nothing but sadness and even though my body yearned to comfort him...I withheld.
"Edward," his beautiful greens snapped up to mine, awaiting the wrath he felt he deserved. "My stubborn, sexy, incredibly stupid bad boy..." His lips quirked up into a deviously sinful smirk at the mention of his nick name.
He had to know that while I'm hurt by his and the families attack and betrayal, I couldn't, and wouldn't, let him go...
The room filled with snickers and a couple of 'hot damns' from Goldielocks and the burly giant who, at this moment, I assumed was my Emmie bear of years past...
The boy definitely grew into a handsome man with a dangerous edge, and by the look on the stunning blonde by his side...made her cream her panties.
I truly am incorrigible.
Shaking my head of those ridiculous thoughts, I turned back to my man and continued to address the situation at hand.
"I can understand, and even forgive, the fact you failed to connect the dots. I can comprehend the fact you never figured out who I was, because truthfully I never did the same with you. I can digest and swallow the fact that you figured it out and never told me, bringing our families in and ganging up on me..." His smirk quickly dissolved, before he opened his mouth to add an excuse to my claims of 'ganging up on me.'
But my glare and defensive position quickly shut him down, letting me finish having my say...
"Now what I can't for the life of me, dissect or swallow…is the lying about who you are!" I screamed in his face. "Why the hell would you tell me your last name was Masen? Huh? Why deny who you are and deceive me in such a way?" My nostrils flared as my anger rose to its peak once again.
"I'm not sitting here and claiming to be a saint, nor do I hide who I am," my manicured fingers poked his chest to drive my point home, since I couldn't release the ass whooping on him that I craved.
God knows my father and mother would throw another fit.
"Why, princessa? Why? You mean to tell me you really still don't see the reasons why?" I shook my head from side to side, because really there is no fucking excuse to me that could validate the kind of stupidity that, in his head, justifies his actions.
"BECAUSE I WAS FUCKING SCARED ISABELLA!" he roared.
My mouth hung open at his admission along with every other person in the room.
Scared.
Scared...
Scared of me, but why? I have proven to this man time and time again that I can take as good as he gives. I am that boy's equal in every motherfucking sense of the word.
Why in the blue fuck is he scared?
"What the fuck do you have to be afraid of?" I screamed back.
The room continued to watch on quietly as we both squared off...
Glare matching glare.
Nostrils flaming.
Bodies shaking.
He was glorious and...I was fucked, because no matter how upset I was at the moment, he was completely forgiven...not that I was ready to let him know that, mind you!
He could use a bit more sweating and groveling as far as I was concerned.
"Isabella," Esme's tender voice carried over to me, dissipating my anger and letting me see the loved ones I've missed all these years.
My eyes traveled to each of their smiling faces and my heart melted just a bit more. But my anger dissipated as they landed back on the woman I considered to be my second mother.
Yes, the Cullen's were and will always be, my family.
Her tender green eyes held unshed tears of joy as she watched me smile back at her. I loved her...heck, I loved them all, even the two new blonde additions I had yet to meet.
"I know my son made some bad choices dear, but don't doubt his love for you," she implored, never taking her eyes off mine and showing me nothing but love and understanding toward my own feelings, unlike my birth parents had. "I'm not going to excuse his awful choices, but hear him out," she pled while everyone else nodded their heads in unison.
"Yeah, lil Swan," Emmett added, "He's an idiot...no offense bro," his eyes left mine and landed back on Edward's.
My bad boy only shook his head and chuckled out a 'none taken' before directing himself back to me.
"You have every right to be mad, upset, disappointed. Shit, I could go on and on with different ways to put into words how you must feel, but I won't" he let out a resigned breath before looking straight into my soul with his penetrating stare.
"I fucked up...yes, I, Edward Cullen, fucked up!" the room erupted into 'holy shits' and 'oh my gods' as I awaited his continuation.
"I lied because I was afraid. I lied because I misjudged you. I lied because I was fucking petrified of your reaction to the real me. And I motherfucking lied because I can't live in a world where you're not by my side. Now before you rip me a new one…hear me out," he divulged passionately, making me snap my mouth closed and killing my rebuttal.
I wanted to say he was full of shit for even thinking I could or would ever walk away.
I wanted to smack him for ever doubting me. For doubting my feelings for him, which even a blind fool could see. Fuck, my girls picked up on my insane attraction to him during our first meeting, in that little restaurant on Brickle.
I loved him as my bean stalk and I love him even more now as my blind, pain in the ass, pig headed Bad Boy!
"I was afraid that you would fear me...that the name Cullen would drive you away from me and that I would lose the woman I love above all else in the process. You, my princessa, are the only woman I have ever loved...will ever love." His final admission crumbled my resolve and before I was aware of my own movement, I was in his arms and saying "I love you, too" before crashing my lips to his.
Can we all just say wow…cause truly this wasn't how it played in my head the first time, but lil Swan was very adamant in kissing that boy stupid. Now remember there is still more to this confrontation with everyone and hopefully a lemon soon cause my girl is sexually frustrated and he's about to pop a cap in someone's ass.
Sooooo see ya next week with part 3 of this lovely reunion!
