"Mama!" Carlie ran into my arms once I reached Cullens' house, "I made the lemonade for everyone today!"
And she told me everything in detail!
Edward was there too...
I really had no idea how we were going to make this 'co-parenting' thing work?
I hadn't thought about it in detail, and knowing him, he would definitely give me a hard time!
It was so strange to be with him at his house after so long...
The last time we all were here together was the last Christmas we all spent together.
It was quite the time!
Everyone kind of knew we were dating, but we hadn't announced it yet.
Sneaky kisses, sweet hugs, secret dates...
But well, that was history!
Here we were... Glaring at each other as if we could kill each other at any moment!
I knew he was mad at me...
I knew he was hurt that I didn't let him know about her earlier...
He seemed to be in love with Carlie...
But would he have reacted the same way if I had told him at that time?
No, right?
Or maybe he might have?
Was he mad at me at that time only because I was too insecure?
But...
"What do you mean you can't come?" I asked him on the phone.
I had so many plans for this weekend!
"Sorry, babe. Some last minute stuff came up. I guess I need to work over the weekend," he said.
"Last minute work? I see." I said.
I wasn't sure if it was indeed anything 'work' related!
"Bella... I'm not lying. I seriously need to work." he said.
Oh, I didn't have any other option but to believe him anyway! I mean, what could I even do from here?
"Sure, I understand." I said, "Okay, then I guess we can talk later... You can focus on your... work."
"What do you mean by that?" He raised his voice, "I'm not lying, okay? And I'm not going to give you any further explanation."
"I don't want any explanation," I said, "I'm not interested."
Yeah, what was the point of asking for an explanation? He might not tell the truth anyway!
"Why are you talking to me in this tone?" he said frustratingly, "Why can't you just believe it, damn it?"
"Why are you wasting your time arguing with me?" I said, "Don't you have to... work?"
"Bella..." He said, "Never mind..."
Was I indeed too insecure?
But did he ever try to understand the reasons behind my insecurities?
