"Where did you get this?" He said as I showed him the clip.
I had asked him if we could meet today, and he said he could drop by. I didn't have the patience to wait until tomorrow!
I was fucking angry at him.
How dare he?
I needed some answers!
"Vicky!" He said, "She's divorcing him, isn't she? I knew that! I mean, your brother is my friend, but well, I'd say I'm team Vicky in this case!" He said.
I couldn't believe he was fucking focusing on fucking Vicky and Riley right now!
"Anyway... So what am I supposed to do with this?" He said.
"What do you mean by 'what are you supposed to do with this'?" I shook my head.
"It's an old video," he said.
"So?" I said, "Does it matter?"
"Yes, it does." he said.
"No, it doesn't!" I said, "You're even a more horrible person than what I thought you to be! You were planning to play with my feelings for a business stake!"
"I wasn't going to do anything," he said, "I was just bullshitting!"
"Oh, you did work on your plan!" I said.
"No, I didn't," he said calmly, "I didn't have any plan!"
"Yes, you had one!" I said, "I'm so glad Vicky shared this with me! At least I know what you really think of me!"
"There is no new information in this video," he said, "You already know I acted like an ass when you joined Cullen Inc. This conversation is before that."
"It doesn't matter," I said, "Now I know what your plan was!"
"I didn't have any fucking plan! I had no idea what I was talking about here!" he said, "I was just mad, and I just blabbered that it's a good plan! I wasn't going to do anything about it!"
"Nobody says anything if they don't mean it," I said.
"Oh really?" he said, "I'm planning to become the president of the states. Yeah, I'm already thinking about how I can misuse my power after that. Ooh! Tax invading sounds so tempting! C'mon! Record the video and share this clip and tell me that you really believe I'm thinking of becoming the president!"
I shook my head.
He was the most shameless and ridiculous person I had ever seen!
"I just... can't with you!" I said.
"Look... I've already told you I'm ashamed of some of my past behavior. I can try to explain, but I don't think any explanation is ever going to be enough for my behavior," he said.
"No... You really meant that in the video!" I said, "You're very money oriented. You wanted to play with my feelings and get married for Carlisle's money!"
"If that's what I really wanted, I'd have married Jane Volturi. She wanted to marry me. And let me tell you something. Her net worth is 25x to uncle Carl's, and her Dad's is 100x!"
"I just... can't with you!" I repeated with frustration.
He was ridiculous!
"Edward..." I took a deep breath, "I don't want to argue with you! The point is, you wanted to play with my feelings! I don't care what your motive was behind that! "
"Let's assume that I'd have done that... Was it really going to work? Are you that stupid to marry me just because I came up with some brilliant plan?" he said, "Hell! I already asked you with the complete honest intentions, and still you rejected my proposal, right?"
"That's not the point!" I said, "Now I know who you're!"
"And how different it is from what you already think of me?" he said, "I don't think this changes anything."
