"Alice already told you about it?" he asked incredulously when he met me, "God! What did she tell you?"

"She told me everything." I said, "And you lied to me. You said you were in a meeting!"

"Bella, I'm sorry!" He said, "I was so mad at Mom... And I didn't want you to see me like that."

"Edward, I'm going to be your wife. You can't lie to me!" I said.

"I know... I'm really sorry! It's just..." He said.

"Well, if all misunderstandings are clear between you and your umm... ex-fiancée now, do you really want to marry me?" I asked.

I was going crazy with jealousy and I was having all the doubts now! If the only reason they had broken was no longer there, did he really want to do anything with me now?

"Ex-fiancée?" He raised his eyebrow, "I wasn't engaged to her!"

"Alice said you were... kind of engaged!" I said.

"Let me tell you something. You shouldn't believe everything Alice says! She exaggerates everything... a lot!" he said.

Does she really? I wasn't sure.

"She also said you didn't even want to meet me to begin with... Do you really want to marry me?" I asked.

"I swear I will kill everyone in my family," he said.

"Why do you want to kill Alice? Just because she told me about the things you didn't want to tell me?" I asked.

"No. Because she tells you the half truth! She is an idiot!" He said.

"Listen to me." He said as he took me in his arms, "Yes, I didn't want to meet you at first. It was because you were Rose's friend and she came up with an idea that we could be a perfect match. And Mom liked you! Believe me, their choices are terrible and obnoxious! So I said I wasn't interested in meeting you."

"But then I looked up your profile, and you didn't look too bad to me," he said.

Didn't look too bad? Huh!

"And then I met you and that changed... everything!" He said, "The more I got to know you, the more I fell in love."

"Yes, I was mad at Mom today. Wasn't I supposed to be? She is crazy! What she did to Angela was... beyond unforgivable! Who does that? I'm ashamed to call her my mother." He continued.

"But not even for a single moment did I regret what I have right now or what didn't work out. You are what I want. I love you. And I've never been in love like this before. You need to believe me." He said while looking into my eyes, "I love you."


I had believed him.

And then he met Angela again after a few years, and he... forgot about me!

"You're a liar." I said out loud.

"That's what I was thinking right now. I should have been a liar." He said, "I should have never told you about that night."
