"Hey..." I smiled at Edward as I got out of the bathroom and sat beside him on the bed.
Yes, I had decided that I was going to put in more effort in this relationship! He was an amazing guy, and I didn't want to lose him just because I couldn't let go of my past.
We had dinner with my parents this evening, and I made a conscious effort not to think about Edward at all during dinner... And I thought I succeeded a bit... Maybe I should keep making such conscious efforts and one day I'd be able to really move on!
"Hey..." He said, "I wanted to talk about something important."
"Okay?" I said. He seemed a bit upset. He seemed okay during the dinner though...
"I'm not sure how you're going to take this, but I'm trying to come clean..." he said.
Okay?
What did that mean?
"Look, I really like you, Bella..." He said.
But?
I could see that 'but' was coming!
"Ummm... Angela and I've been trying for the past few months to see if we should give our relationship another chance..." He said.
Excuse me?
What?
And what the hell did he mean by 'for a few months'?
"I see... How long have you been trying this?" I asked.
"Look..." He took a deep breath, "We have been talking about this since the kids' birthday... "
June?
Fucking June?
We started dating in February!
"But things got serious only in the last two months..." He said.
He gotta be kidding me right now!
"So what are you doing here then? Why the hell are you wasting my time?" I asked, trying my best to keep my anger in check.
"Look Bella... I really, really like you..." He said.
Right!
"I wasn't even sure if Angela and I were going to make it work or not," he said.
"I see," I said, "So that's why you thought two timing was a good idea!"
"No... It's not like that..." he said, "It just happened..."
'It just happened'! Yeah right!
"But she just asked me if I'd like to join them for Christmas, and... I really want to..." he said, "I really love my kids... I hope you can understand..."
"Well, you should leave then. Right now." I snapped.
