"Bella... How are you, sweetie?" Esme, Alice's Mom, took me in a warm embrace.
"Yes, so nice to see you as well," I smiled.
"I can't believe all the kids are here for this Holidays... This is just perfect!" She smiled, "Alice said you were coming... Then Rose also said she's going to be here as well, and then Edward... He surprised us all! I was baking a cake and he came from behind and just... totally startled me... I screamed so loudly!" She grinned.
"That's nice..." I smiled.
Well, at least his family was happy to see him, and that's what mattered I guess!
I sighed as I saw him talking with my boyfriend. I guess they both were discussing movies because they both were crazy cinephiles.
"Oh, I've been in LA all my life and I never really spent Christmas in a small town," I heard Edward telling him as I walked towards him, "So when Bella asked me if I'd like to join her, I was like.. why not?" He said as he put his arm around my waist.
"I'm glad I said yes... The vibes are totally different here, and I'm loving it!" He added.
"That's awesome!" Edward smiled.
Again, that smile was fake! I knew him!
"So do you come home for the holidays every year?" Edward asked him.
"Oh, no..." he smiled, "I'm here after quite a long time... I don't even remember when was the last time I was here..." he said.
Six years back. I wanted to say.
"I see," Edward said.
"I'm glad I'm here though... Hollywood and all that is good, but I guess you miss your real friends and family in the end..." He said as he smiled at me.
Seriously?
He was such a fucking hypocrite!
