What Hurts The Most
One week earlier...
"You missed the show last night" I looked up from the papers I had out in front of me on the kitchen bench to see Edward leaning on the door frame to the lounge. I thought it over quickly and realised I had indeed forgotten about him sisters fashion show.
"I'm sorry, Edward, I completely forgot. I'm sure Alice didn't mind. We all know she isn't my biggest fan and she knows I'm not much into fashion. I'm sorry you had to go alone though" I was looking back down at the papers before I had even gotten halfway through my sentence. I knew he'd understand, he always does. I'd take the day off tomorrow and make it up to him. For that I'd need to get this finished though.
"It's fine. A colleague of mine accompanied me. You know that's not true though, about Alice. She just doesn't like that you won't let her shop for you, people pay a lot of money for she designs" I had heard this before, many times before in fact. I just didn't like people dressing me. I was capable of doing it myself.
"I'm sure Seth had fun perving on all the models" I said assuming that was who he took. He and Seth went to law school together and are planning on opening a law firm together in a few year. Edward didn't answer so I assumed he gave a silent respond.
"I'll be up for bed in a minute. Just need to finish these" I said jumping slightly when I felt his lips against my cheek.
"Don't be too long, love" He whispered against my skin and I nodded my response, opening my laptop that was on the table, I felt him sigh against my skin before turning and leaving to go upstairs. I found him asleep in bed three hours later when I came up, changing quickly I got in beside him switching off my alarm as I did so. Only seconds after my head hit the pillow I was asleep.
When I woke the sun was only just peaking through the gap in the curtains and Edward was stirring beside me. I propped myself up on my elbow with my head in my hand staring down at him. He wasn't quite awake yet, trying to shake the last bit of sleep off. When he finally opened his eyes, he looked a little startled to see me smiling down at him. I suppose that's understandable, I probably looked a little creepy.
"Playing hooky today" I announced, my smile turning to to a grin, his green eyes brightened, but then he frowned.
"I have a court hearing scheduled today at 10, I can't miss it" He said still frowning. I look over at the clock
07:14am
"We've got plenty of time" I grin at him, wrapping my arm around his neck and pulling his lips to mine.
09:02am
I giggle as I wrap his tie around my neck, threading the perfect knot in it as I watch Edward frantically get dressed, he shoots me a playful glare as he snaps his watch into place and stalks over to me, I bite my lip as I grin at him and scoot backwards on the bed. He crawls on after me grabbing my ankles and pulling me down, quickly crawling over me and pinning me under him.
"You think it's funny, huh?" I shake my head pressing my lips together to stop my laughter coming out. I glance to the clock and take the tie from my neck, switching it to his.
"9:26" Is all I say and it's all it takes to have him climbing off me and the bed. A sweet kiss on my lips and words of love and he's gone. I tease him, but I hope he's not late, he's not fond of tardiness.
I flopped back on the bed with a sigh "What to do, what to do" I mumbled to myself. I couldn't even remember when the last time it was that I had a day off. I grabbed the book that was sitting in the bedside table, Withering Hights I smiled at the book, it was my favorite. Edward must have put it there without me seeing. I opened it eagerly, it had been so long since I last read it. Maybe I'll just read a chapter.
Beep Beep Beep
12:18pm
I put the book down, realising I had been reading for longer than I thought and there was a beeping noise coming from under the bed. I frowned slightly and leaned over the side of the bed, I could make out the outline of a phone under the bed and almost fell of reaching for it, I managed to reach for it though and realised it was Edwards personal cell, I was about to reach out for my phone to call his work cell when it lit up with another message.
Tanya
I looked down at the screen confused, only I and a handful of others knew this number, Edward normally gave out his work number as it's the one he keeps with him at all times, but I'd never heard him mention a Tanya. Why would he give her his private number? My finger hovered over the pass-code, I knew it, of course. It was the date his pet dog had died. I had never gone through his phone before though. Never felt the need to.
I typed in the six digit code slowly, scolding myself as I did it, I should't be doing it. I couldn't seems to stop myself though as my finger clicked down on her name and I almost dropped the phone
I love you, please just answer the phone
I dont know what to do
Kate said to take care of, but its ours
I'm sorrry
Edward please, we need to talk about this
please answer me
ignoring this isnt going to make this go away
I know youd never leave her but I don't know what to do
and im scared as well I didn't plan to get pregnant
And the I actually did drop the phone.
