"Hey... Sorry for being rude that day... Can we meet in the evening if you have some time? -B"
I sent a text to Edward... I guess I needed to talk to him!
Maybe Tanya and he broke up again?
Maybe...
And that's the reason he was opening up to me about his feelings?
So he really liked me? This was... surreal!
I could have never thought this even in my dreams!
"Hey..." He smiled when he met me near my office in the evening.
"Hey..." I smiled back.
"Should we walk?" He asked.
"Yeah.." I said.
Oh my God! This felt very... different.
"So I wanted to check on one part before we talk about anything else..." I said after I was done apologizing for that day's behavior.
"What?" He asked.
"Did Tanya and you break up already?" I asked.
He stopped walking when he heard that.
"Tanya and I broke up two years ago..." He said as he started walking again.
"Yeah, but..." I said.
"Wait a second..." He said, "Don't tell me that idiot was right when he said you were feeling jealous of Tanya?"
Ummm... I didn't want to answer that.
"Bella... Tanya and I are not together..." He said, "He is dating someone else... She has been dating Garrett for over a year... And she moved here with him..."
Ohhh...
Garrett?
I had heard that name a lot that day, but I thought Garrett was...
No.
I didn't think anything about Garrett.
Why would I think about Garrett?
Garrett was not my concern.
My concern was Edward who seemed to have reconciled with Tanya... But apparently he hadn't!
Well, they looked very close together that evening...
Or did they?
I guess he was talking to her just like he was talking to everyone else...
Was I seeing only what I wanted to?
But she said...
"She said to Rosalie that she loves you..." I said.
"What?" He said incredulously, "Wait... Oh God! Bella, you need to spend a day with Tanya... You'll notice that she will say "Oh my God! You're so sweet... I love you!" to anyone... Even if the Barista gives her extra whip cream to her, she'd say that to him..."
What?
I mean, he might be exaggerating, but I got his point...
Well... So I guess the streak continues?
The streak of me making a fool of myself in front of him? Was I ever going to stop doing that?
"I think I might have had a misunderstanding..." I said.
Yeah... That would be the understatement of the century!
