"What do you mean it just happened?" I said incredulously on the call the next day, "Leah is my friend!"
"It just happened, babe..." Jacob said as he yawned, "We both were drunk. We were just talking and then one thing led to another, and..."
I guess he was lucky that we were having this conversation on the call or I might have killed him!
"Jacob... I can't go on like this," I said, "We need to end this."
"What? Are you breaking up with me?" He said incredulously.
"Yes." I said.
"C'mon babe..." he said, "I was... I was just drunk! I don't even remember anything! It's not a big deal! I love you!"
Yeah, right!
"I don't want any further discussion. It's over." I said.
"C'mon babe..." he said, but I disconnected the call.
I shouldn't have let this go on for so long! He was a fucking asshole!
We might have known each other for long, but we didn't have anything in common. We didn't have any future together. If I continued this relationship any longer, I was pretty sure I'd do more moronic stuff like going to that stupid club!
I received a call from Emmett before I could curse him further.
"You called earlier?" He said.
"Yes." I said, "Why would you discuss me with Edward Cullen?"
"What do you mean?" he said.
"Why would you discuss with him that I'm looking for a 'suitable partner' for me! Why would you discuss with him that Jacob is not the one for me? Why would you act like a gossip queen?" I said.
Granted, he was friends with him, but that didn't mean he should have this kind of discussion with him! I was pissed off.
"Oh, it just came up randomly during one of the conversations," he said.
"It just 'came up'? Really?" I said with disbelief, "Why would you do it? Now he's having fun at my expense. He's asking me to marry him!"
"He is... what?" he said.
"Yeah, I guess he's just having fun at my expense... And he's blackmailing me!" I said.
"What do you mean he's blackmailing you? What has he got on you?" He asked with confusion.
"I…"
Ugh!
Why did I go to that club?
Why, why, why?
What was I thinking?
Shouldn't I have used my brain?
"Why in the world would he blackmail you?" he said.
"That's not the point right now," I said, "The point is, why would you tell him that you think he and I would make a good couple? Why?"
"Well..." He said.
"Answer me." I said.
"I do think you both would make a good couple," he said.
"Are you kidding me right now?" I said, "I don't even know him!"
"Well, you might agree with me if you get to know him. He's not that bad! In fact, sometimes I think you both are quite similar... He has got a wicked sense of humor though... something that you don't have!" he chuckled.
"Emmett... I just can't... with you!" I said.
I was actually speechless.
Everyone around me was just... crazy!
And that's when I received a text from Edward Cullen.
"Gentle reminder. Two hours to go before I make this photo public! I hope you change your mind. Only two hours to go. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock."
I shook my head.
I was pretty sure he was just fooling around now! I doubted if he actually planned to share that photo with anyone!
"But why is he blackmailing you?" Emmett repeated, "I don't get it!"
"I will talk to you later," I said.
I needed to end this fucking shit!
It was getting ridiculous now!
Alright, I went to that stupid club, but so what?
I wasn't going to allow him to blackmail me for that!
And technically he broke the club's rule! He took my picture! It was supposed to be a 'secret' and 'confidential'!
Maybe I should sue him!
Yeah right, and then let the world know about it!
I sighed.
This was so fucked up!
"Aah! Looks like you've changed your mind," he said as he answered the call.
"Look... Don't you dare try to blackmail me," I said.
"I'm not trying," he said, "I'm actually blackmailing you."
I shook my head.
He was unbelievable!
"And I don't even want to do it, but you haven't left any other option for me," he said.
"Look..." I said, "I'm not sure why you're doing this."
"Ugh!" He said, "See! We're already behaving like a married couple... I've already told you why I'm doing this, but you just don't want to believe me... We will be such a typical married couple!"
What was wrong with this guy?
He was just unbelievable!
"Look..." I said.
"I like you," he said.
Ugh!
"Look... I know you're finding this funny, but it's not!" I said, "You're being ridiculous!"
If this was supposed to be the 'wicked' sense of humor that Emmett mentioned, well... I didn't find it funny at all!
"Why the fuck would you ask me to marry you! It doesn't make any sense!" I said.
"Oh my God! It's like you don't want to believe anything I'm saying..." he said as if he was saying the most obvious thing!
"Alright... Let's forget about marriage for a moment," he said.
"No... Let's forget about it forever!" I said.
"I'm just asking you to go on a date with me. Let's talk. Give me a chance to explain what I'm trying to say. I won't bother you again if you think I'm not making any sense," he said, "Just one date."
He wasn't going to let it go easily, was he?
"Maybe you should learn to ask this in a better way," I said, "I might consider it then."
