Well hey strangers, no I haven't disappeared or forgotten about you but RL has been tough and hectic, and then my darling came to visit me so I had to devote all my time to him since he's overseas and just visiting :'( the time went by too quickly, but he's gone back and I've been miserable so no energy to do anything. However, I'm back with you now so here we go. Hope you enjoy. Riney.
Disclaimer: I am NOT SM. If I was, I wouldn't be here now would I? Nope I'd be out propositioning Kella Lutz to get in my bed...oh wait...she's married huh? See? Couldn't be her at all.
Warning: This story is Rated M for a reason. I have a potty mouth and a naughty imagination. You will see words such as 'fuck', 'dick', etc. I will say shit like 'Rape the review button' (which by the way is an inanimate object and can't actually be raped) *rolls eyes*, so yeah...if any of these things offend you that little 'x' in the top right hand of your browser?

Chapter 44
EPOV
If I could strangle my bestfriend without going to jail, believe me, I would.
I swear to God, the woman has absolutely no filter.
"So James, been to any decent gay clubs recently?"
What the fuck?
Seriously Bella?
Needless to say the table was in an uproar over her question.
James was choking on his water, Emmett, who was guffawing like a buffoon was patting James' back. Patty and Bernard looked highly amused but had the grace to keep their mirth held back.
I glanced over at Bella, well glared at her was more like it and she rose a brow at me as though we had been talking about what kind of doilies we were going to use in the foyer. Ugh.
"Bella!" I hissed.
"Edward!" she said mimicking my tone.
"What the hell?" I said softly.
She rolled her eyes, you know the one, the patented Bella eye roll and ignored me, turning back to James, "So Jamie...have you?"
"Bella," Emmett said clearing his throat, "I don't think this conversation is appropriate at the table."
Bella's eyes cut over to his and she cocked her head on a side as if to say, 'Oh really?'.
"Emmett, we're all adults here," she said. "And I'm sure your parents don't mind," she turned to the couple with a blinding smile. "Do you?"
Patty coughed and waved her hand, "We don't mind. We're not easily shocked, why, with Emmett for a son? You wouldn't believe the things we've talked about at this very table."
Thank you Patty for giving her the green light.
And yeah, for you Sheldon Cooper-esque ones out there, that was sarcasm.
I spared a glance at James who was pinching his nose, kinda like the way I did when I was frustrated, and that made me smile.
He chose that moment to look up at me, and the smile died on my lips. He was not a happy camper.
"Bella, you should come the next time I go to one," he said, his voice dry and his lips pinched together.
I kicked Bella under the table and she dug her nails in my thigh, making me wince visibly.
"Are you ok Edward?" Bernard asked, his eyes twinkling with merriment.
I nodded, and hid a curse behind a cough. I was seriously going to look for a new bestfriend.
I turned to Bella pleading with my eyes for her to just drop it, she of course, ignore me.
Fucking bitch.
"I'll take you up on that offer one of these days," she told James with a laugh.
"Can we get back to the food now?" Emmett said noting the tension rolling off James in waves.
Bella shrugged, "I never stopped eating."
She really hadn't, her plate was almost empty.
I no longer had an appetite.
I got up from the table, excused myself and fled the scene.
Yeah, I'm a fucking coward, because I couldn't face James or anyone else at the moment.
I was seriously gonna put out an ad for a new bestfriend.
-TA-
JPOV
I know my face had to be red.
Where the fuck did she come up with these things?
It really didn't help that my jackass of a best-friend was sitting next to me laughing like a seal on crack. I swear, if he doesn't shut up soon...
I sputtered around the cup that I had just raised to my mouth and my eyes flew to Emmett's parents, who though shocked, kept quiet. Well maybe Emmett's dad chuckled a bit. Great.
Bella was looking at me with expectant eyes, like seriously waiting for me to answer her. My eyes, full of water from the near death moment when the water went down the same way, roved to Edward's face, fucker wasn't looking at me. He was hissing something at Bella, I couldn't quite make out. She replied in turn and then returned her gaze to me.
I mumbled out something about her joining me at one of the clubs one of these days, and of course in true Bella fashion, she took me up on my offer.
She was going to be the death of me.
I pinched my nose, feeling the tension rush to my head. Dammit. How did I get myself into these predicaments? And what the hell was Edward smiling at?
My stony glare quickly erased that smile. Good, because I was less than happy about this shit.
Emmett was still laughing.
Fucking cunt.
I took a deep breath and counted to twenty, yep, ten was highly overrated.
I wasn't mad.
I wasn't.
Okay, I was fucking pissed.
No, not at Bella, because let's face it, that girl has no filter and I've accepted that.
What was I mad about?
Well for starters I couldn't believe that Edward had run off and told Bella what had happened at the club; of course then I was angry at myself for even letting that shit happen.
For all I know Edward had been joking about it at my expense. I was just another helpless sap that fell under the magical allure of Edward Cullen. He had me by the fucking balls. Well...that wouldn't be...what the hell? No! I shouldn't even be thinking like that. Jesus, what the fuck was wrong with me?
I took a deep breath, and tried to get my thoughts in order.
Deep down I knew that wasn't true.
Sigh.
I really couldn't be upset that he confided in Bella, after all, I had confided in Emmett. He had all rights to confide in his bestfriend. I just wondered what exactly he had said.
I could tell by the expression on his face, that he was more than upset about Bella's questioning, so maybe he didn't make fun of the situation behind my back. Maybe he was just as confused as I was.
I snorted to myself, yeah right. I was confused six ways to Sunday.
I looked over at Edward, who's head was now buried in his plate but he wasn't eating. He was barely picking at the food and then he stood abruptly, excused himself and left. Bella watched as he left and then her gaze turned to meet mine but she didn't say anything. Bernard and Patricia went back to eating their meal and talking softly to themselves. Emmett gave me a apologetic look and went back to eating.
Well great, what was I supposed to do now?
"He's gonna end up under the tree across the meadow," Bella said quietly.
I believe I sat there gaping at her, not moving or saying a word.
She shook her head, "Are you gonna just sit there, are or you going to go find him and talk your shit out?"
Gotta give it to Bella, she definitely had a way with words.
"I really hope this baby gets my filter," Emmett said shaking his head.
That made everyone but Bella laugh, "There's absolutely nothing wrong with my filter."
I got up and patted her hand as I made my way out, "Keep telling yourself that sweetie."
"Be nice to my bestie," she said.
"I'm always nice," I quipped with a wink, and then I headed out to find Edward. We definitely had to talk about, whatever it is that's going on between us.

?POV
Looking down at the picture on the table my blood boiled. They looked so happy, his arm wrapped around her waist, cupping her growing stomach. She was smiling at something, probably something he said. Bitch. I grabbed the picture and ripped it into little pieces and took a deep breath.
She wouldn't be smiling for long, I'd make sure of that.
I crossed to the mirror and stood there appraising my new look.
I couldn't stop the smile that crossed my face.
No, she wouldn't be smiling for long at all.
A/N: It wasn't very long, but that's because after all this time away, I have a bit of WB and it was hard even getting this out. The good thing is though, that my brain has been reawakened and its already firing new ideas at me *does happy dance* so don't worry lovelies. Next chapter we see Eddie and Jamie, as my SS affectionately nicknamed them, talk it out. I wanna see how that relationship grows, and NO, James isn't going to cheat on Al(ec). More Alec drama and what could our little unknown person be up to now? *grins* Seriously though, I have the unknown character's world completely finished in my head...maybe I'm a little psycho myself muhahahaha. Until next time Pixieites. ~ Riney xoxo
