Chapter 17 - An unexpected turn
tormented After a sleepless night I am the next morning from my bed. The whole evening was a fiasco. Started when Edward suddenly conjured up a fiancee out of the hat, ending with the fact that he made me a immoral offer.
My anger was gone long ago, the tears finally dried up and dried. The only thing that remained was the feeling of deep sadness, which took me completely caught me and made a lifeless shell. I carefully tidied me, took my time in the toilet in the morning and in the selection of my clothes.
Even so rarely used make-up bag was looted and was again used. This distracted me from everyday activities just enough to get me to prepare for the meeting with Bibi and Danny. They could in no way realize what had happened to me yesterday, not especially my dear friend, Bibi. As for Edward Cullen
What, he could not stay stolen, but I knew it would be a long, long time, take before I even begin to hinwegkam about him.
my appearance I checked carefully before the mirror. Somehow, what was missing.
My dull, dull eyes so sad stood out from my pale face, I could not wegschminken, but a bit of color on the lips would work wonders and to divert attention. I rummaged in my purse for my lipstick that was waiting for months on his first deployment.
Today was a good day for that, I decided summarily and unscrewed the lid. Wall piece by piece, the pin up and finally stood out from the thread.
With trembling hands I put the pen and moved to my lips with color. Soon, they shone in a soft cherry red and underlined the contrast between my translucent skin and the mass of dark brown hair that flowed to me softly on the shoulder.
Critical I leaned forward and found the results satisfactory enough to leave the apartment. My heart beat up to the neck. It was important for me not to let on in the least, for a conversation about it I would not handle right now. My self-control was hanging by a thread and there is not much and the laboriously built up layer of self-confidence was lacking, would collapse like a house of cards.
It was not long cried every tear to Edward, but I wanted to be for me and have no spectators present when I gave my pain.
morning Danny would go on a two-day Children's Camp, organized especially for the little ones was. It was a mixture of fun and bringing in the right school, which would indeed begin next year. They would sing there, and play in the evening there was a harmless little reading scary stories. They would stay overnight with sleeping bags in the reading room and celebrate it a slumber party. Danny was terribly excited and happy to mad to go away with his friends.
He would miss a lot when he was two days away, but it was very practical. So I could wallow in my sorrow and my love cry my pain at last from the soul. Now I just needed a huge pack of Kleenex and tons of chocolate.
Bibi opened as usual with a beaming smile the door and I almost cramped when trying to return it.
"Bella, I wish you good morning. As the job was in catering? Everything worked out? "
" Excellent! "I lied without batting an eyelash. Slowly I got really good at it.
"Are you sure?" She asked suspiciously, "You look kind of funny. And since when do you put on your makeup? "
" It's really all okay, Bibi. Do not always worry so much, "said I," I slept very badly and the common cold has also left its mark leave. You should have seen my face time! I could have any scarecrow competition and so I nachgeholfen optically a bit, so that customers in the diner not run away screaming. "
Wow, I slowly made Edward really competitive it came to lying and I wondered why I so easily fell. Bibi believed my words, in any case and there was no time for a longer conversation. Danny has stormed up to me and we had to hurry so as not to miss the train.
The morning shift at the diner was contrary to expectations, very quiet and I was way too much food for thought. What Edward well planned next? It would thus not just give up because I was sure.
Lou came around the corner, once again deep in thought, as so often lately.
"Lou", I asked him carefully and he looked down at me, "Lou, what's the matter with you lately? You are swept up in so quiet and so I know you do not. "
He sighed heavily.
"You will soon know the reason, but do not worry about an old man will have everything."
I looked at him a little doubtfully, but he just patted me on the cheek fatherly.
"Look a bit happier child. No matter what happens, you will always have a place here, I promise you! I must go now and move me, for I have an important appointment in two hours. You hold the position and take care that the girls do not do bad stuff, in my absence. "
He disappeared through the back door and I went back into the interior of the restaurant. Still, it was extremely quiet and I decided to make my long overdue break. Rose had the day off and I had refused to accept their offer my current layer. She had no idea how deep I was already in the network of Edward Cullen and thought I caught sight unseen, that cured me of the last night of him.
was true only for Half, because the other side was terribly sad that he was a creep Sun It was terribly naive of me to believe I could free him from his icy cold and re-educate him into a shining example of virtue and decency. Because if I was honest, I did exactly that, deep down believe in me.
The fools never die out, I thought bitterly.
Thoughtfully I poured me a cup of coffee and sit down at the little table that we stood for the breaks.
"So thoughtful today?" Edwards voice tore me from my thoughts.
My head shot up and I As always, staring at his perfect appearance. At least he seemed to have slept well because he was unlike me not from lack of sleep.
"You are a real plague, Edward. I think I will soon confer the Order of the pesky man in Seattle. "
He just grinned and stepped closer unimpressed.
"You know now that I'm not a dressing can be a deterrent. I thought you might want to again sleep a night over it, before you reject final. But more than the 250,000 plus home are not in it, dear. Also, I have my pride. "
I was just another sip of my to take coffee, as these words came. I play the whole broth across the table, shocked me so much his words.
Coughing, I was holding a napkin over her mouth and then looked at him with reddened eyes as I gasped for air.
"Tell me, how often have you flown as a baby on the changing table? Somehow I feel that we have seen the evening completely different! "I said incredulously," You should take a serious professional help, because I start so slow to doubt your mind. "
" For such a small person you're quite cheeky, Bella. But I forgive you! " he said magnanimously.
For some reason he was dazzling mood and looked interested at the lounge.
"Here you spend your breaks so! Is a bit tight, do not you think so? "
" What the fuck, you're not here to entertain you with me on the premises in the diner. I really have no desire to waste my break with you and would like to ask you to go. "
Outwardly I was very composed and confident. There was no indication that I went crazy at the sight of all brain functions. I hated the guy as much as I loved him.
How could he dare show up here, to repeat his shameful offer. Then also to speak of pride, was the height of tastelessness.
Good thing I was naive and really hoped he would change because of me. It was my own fault, because if I was honest, he mentioned not a word, that he felt something different for me than physical interest. The fit and I had to put me well!
But everything else was just humiliating and showing bad character. He wanted to buy me as a head of cattle. How I could develop such deep feelings for him, puzzled me. He
sat on the second chair, legs crossed on the table and folded his hands behind his neck.
"Take your feet off the table, you pig!" I shouted in my highest "Mom voice", "We eat here! This is not a footrest for nouveau riche upstart. "
Grinning, he took his feet down again and looked at me with his deep-set eyes.
"You can be quite rigorous, dear. I like that. Are you in bed so dominant? "he whispered.
"All right, Edward. You are obviously not ready to give myself a satisfactory answer to my question. I 'm tired of you playing with me and I will now go back to work. Still have a nice life! "
I got up to go, as he covered me with steel-hard grip and pulled on his lap.
"Not so fast, dear," he said coldly.
His good humor was gone and a scary smile played around his mouth. He grabbed my neck and pulled my head towards him, his mouth close to my ear.
"I'm out here for a reason! I wanted to tell you that I have no intention of giving up, my heart. "
I began to struggle on, but his grip was only of steel.
"Listen to defend you, dear. You just can not resist forever. If your anger is gone, will you eat me soon out of hand. You've done it once, you remember it. God, you do not know how satisfying it was to me that you kissed me voluntarily. I want to feel that again! I think only about how it would be with us and that makes me even more mad. "
" You had your chance but you blew it, Edward. "He just laughed
.
"errors can be corrected. Money is not your price, I've now got it too. I think it is an interesting Knowing a change a woman that does not start drooling when they learn of my millions. "
One moment he was careless and I am freed from his clutches.
"I'm sincerely sorry for you that the women always just want your money. However, you should ask why this is so! If you all are so, like me, then I am not surprised at all. I can not find anything lovable about you right now. "
evil he looked at me and got up smooth. Sky, it was so much bigger than me and seemed almost threatening, as he gazed down at me. Now I had gone too far! To say
, he would unlovable, was common. Moreover, it was a lie!
He was never nice to me and I loved him anyway. Why I did that I knew myself, since he had really done nothing to deserve that feeling. But I gave him my love and she was allowed to live out but not because my mind now took over the helm.
love was just not enough! Especially if it was unilateral.
"You're leaning up just pretty much out the window, my darling! But you will still remember that you do not offend me with impunity. I will never let you alone. I know you want me and for this reason, as long as I am near you stay until you give in your feelings. And when the time comes, dear, I'm going to enjoy yourself and your body like never before in my life. "
He pulled me again to get closer to himself.
"I must admit, it's kind of exciting to wait on you."
"Let me go!" I said threateningly.
He grinned mockingly, but made no move to follow my directions.
"La ... la .. let Bella .... In Ru ... peace!" Stammered a male voice.
I turned my head and stood in the door ....
George! http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1772722432/ch0006389
"Oh, thank God! George, I'm so glad you're here. I thought you forgot our meeting for coffee. Edward wanted to go straight. "
He let go of me, looking in disbelief from me to George.
"This is no kidding, right?"
Now he was actually speechless and I was happy about thieving.
I walked to George, gave him a kiss on the cheek and hooked me with him.
"We have spoken to us and George forgave me my behavior in the restaurant. We are really good friends. "
Edward just shook his head and turned toward the door. In the past he ran, he threw me an icy look, and George was impaled by his piercing look almost. I felt like the poor guy next to me began to tremble.
Edward Cullen Rage was truly a frightening sight!
"We see, dear. Faster than you think! "
" Not if I can help it! "I shot back at least as bad.
He snorted indignantly, and I was alone with George.
"George, I do not know why you showed up here, but I thank God for that. You were my life! "
The good George was crimson in the face and ran his handkerchief over his forehead.
"I just ... I ... that you'll need some help. With the do not eat cherries, "he said finally.
Since Edward left the room, he became noticeably more relaxed and gave me a slight smile.
"I hope you're not angry with me because I'm just turned up here. But your colleague has told me to still go back because you would break. And then I saw this guy as he bothers. Man, I'm glad that he gave me none applied to the nose. "
" Edward is annoying, but not violent. He would never beat someone, that would be beneath his dignity. "
" Is it dignified to hold a woman against her will? I would not do something. Women have rights, "he said with conviction.
Smiling I looked at my new friend. George had his heart in the right place, and was deeper than was at first.
test limit I looked at him. He was not really eye candy! But with a bit of female support, it would be all a viable, male specimen make of it. Maybe then he would build more confidence and his "Mom" finally provide the forehead. That he was no coward, he showed earlier in Edward.
I put an arm around his shoulders and led him back out in the diner.
"George, what do you think if we both go shopping with my friend Alice for?"
"Shopping! With me? Stuff? "He brought out confused.
"Exactly! Shopping! With you! Things, "I repeated, grinning.
George was just the distraction I needed now. I did not ever think of Edward, so I needed a task. Danny was away from tomorrow for two days, it would neglect I'm not so and so was the campaign "Save George" begin. Without resistance
George followed me outside and we chatted for a while. George was not stupid and amazingly well read. He confessed that he had much time to read, because he had no friends.
"George, that was it! I am your friend, "I said warmly, and his cheeks flushed delicately, until he had proper apple cheeks.
He really was a lovely guy! Why could not I fall in love with him, that would help a lot.
But first I would have to "Mom" get around the corner, I thought, grinning. Since Edwards involuntary departure was my mood much better and I took over from my colleague to send it to break.
Shortly before closing time, wobbled all my colleagues in the diner. Confused, I looked at her and I could not figure it out. Rose came to me.
"Bells know what is going on you? Lou gave us all together calls for a staff meeting. Did he tell you what he's up? "
" No, nothing. It was very strange lately. I think the dinner is not so good, "I speculated," he has locked away all his books, something he never did otherwise. Hopefully Nobody has to be released. "
" is so bad it has not, "Rose said optimistically," we may have to tighten their belt a bit tighter, but he will fire anyone. This place is not bad. "
agreed Probably, but Rose did not realize that we had much more rest, more than last year. That could affect a total of pretty negative on the balance sheets. I knew that even without studies!
After the last guest left the dinner, gathered everyone and waited for Lou's arrival. The tension increased immeasurably and the nervousness was palpable in his hands.
finally arrived and Lou and immediately I was light-hearted. He looked much happier. Probably, his appointment was completed successfully and he had solved his problems, as they always looked too. He certainly was at the bank and got a loan approved!
"My dear people," he began, "You wonder why I told you to come here. Well, the reason is simple! I make you a serious message and I have decided not to do it individually, but all of you to say together. "
He paused and looked each of us firmly in the eye.
"There you may have noticed that I was buckled in the last few weeks and I had every reason to be. The dinner it was financially very badly and I was just about to file for bankruptcy. "
a shocked murmur ran through the ranks, but Lou just raised his hand to bring back peace inside.
"Please, I said, I was close. It will not come so far and your jobs are safe. "
Well, if that were not good news again.
"But there will be a major change, my friends! I was forced to sell the diner to save it and to get enough money for my retirement. That's why I told you gathered here. I wanted to it tell you and at the same time introduce the new owner of the Diners. Here it is, folks! "Said Lou, pointing to the door that opened.
We all stared curiously there when a man entered the room.
"May I introduce, Edward Cullen!" Entered
