beauty and the edward by bella&edward (simple ebook reader txt) 📕

Archer and Ellen are soulmates, but society and they themselves stop their love from being more than just an affair. Maybe you can read that and make sure you never let it happen to yourself. I don't know, but when I fall in love one day I wouldn't care if it was difficult because nothing worth it comes easy." Bella said strongly.

She blushed a little, she had said way too much and Jake probably thought she was being crazy. She realized that she said "When I fall in love." She always said love was never for her, but in the heat of the moment she ended up saying it was almost a 100% possibility that she would fall in love. It made no sense.

"Uh-huh. It makes sense, but don't confuse pain with love." He said cautiously.

Little did Bella and Jake know, somebody was listening in to their conversation. In his drunken state Edward walked to Bella's room, he wanted to talk to her, but he heard her talking to her friend and decided to listen to their conversation. She was a romantic, he knew that there was no way she didn't believe in love. If she thought epic loves were difficult, maybe one day she could fall for him, but what would he do then? Use her? Or maybe he would love her.

He suddenly lost his balance and fell onto the floor making a huge noise.

"Shit." He muttered as he tried to get back onto his feet. His senses were impaired so it made it difficult for him to regain his balance.

Bella swung the door open and looked around to see what made such a big noise. She saw Edward on the floor, she shook her head and immediately tried to get him back up onto his feet. Jake quickly walked over to his other side and picked him up.

"Don't crinkle my suit jacket." Edward slurred.

Bella and Jake looked at each other.

"Edward, shut up." Bella said sternly.

"She has a dirty mouth this one here." Edward whispered to Jake.

Bella directed them upstairs towards Edward's room. She knew under normal circumstances, Edward would have murdered both Bella and Jake for going into his room. He was very fussy when it came to his possessions. She opened the door to his room, it was very clean and orderly just as she imagined it would be. There was a king sized bed in the center of the room, with a black duvet on top of it and then to the side there was on bedside table with a lamp on it. There was a GQ magazine placed on top of it along with his wrist watch. Edward pulled away from Jake and Bella and stumbled onto his bed. He glared at Jake.

"You need to leave." He snarled.

Jake held his hands up in surrender.

"Okay man, no need to get defensive. Bella, lets go out for pizza or something." Jake said while looking at her with a frantic look in his eyes. She realized that he was afraid for her safety, but the funny thing was Bella was completely content with taking care of Edward, she owed him that much and she was afraid he would do something stupid.

"It's okay Jake. I think I'll stay here, I'll see you tomorrow." She said quickly.

"Are you sure?" He asked concernedly.

"Yes very sure. I'll call you in an hour." She said.

He nodded his head.

"Don't forget or I'll come back here.." He said.

She smiled at his protectiveness and waved at him as he walked out the door, shutting it behind him.

"The kid likes you." Edward said.

Bella turned around to look at him.

"At least someone likes me." She said dryly.

"Stop being so stubborn. I like you."

She went over to sit next to him.

"You're saying that because you're drunk."

"It's true. I don't want to push you away, but I rather you be safe and happy than be dragged down with me." He mumbled.

She arched an eyebrow at him, why was he doing this? It made her feel like there was some hope.

"Simple loves are never epic." She said.

"I heard what you were saying about it, did you mean what you said?"

He had eavesdropped on her, she should have been furious, but she wasn't.

"Yes I did. I'm starting to see that somethings are just worth fighting for."

He ran a finger down her cheek,she closed her eyes. Just one simple touch from him made her feel flustered. He was making her feel something she had never felt before. He moved closer to her, so that she could feel his warm breath on her neck. He smelt like a brewery mixed with Armani cologne, an interesting combination. He moved her brown hair away from her neck so it was exposed. He was fixated with her neck, little did he know it was her most erogenous zone.

"I never want to hurt you." He whispered.

It turned out that a drunk Edward was very honest Edward.

"Then don't."

"I'm a monster Bella, it's inevitable. If you choose to be with me, it won't be easy." He warned.

"Don't say that about yourself, you're more than that. I don't want easy Edward. Nthing has ever come easy to me."

"Don't say that I never warned you." He said as he placed a seductive kiss on her neck.


Chapter 7

Bella couldn't believe that she was taking care of him, especially after how he treated her before. Why was it that a man could trea
t you so terribly yet you would still care about him? It infuriated her so much, but at the same time she knew there was no way that she could just leave him there while he was drunk and was incapable of taking care of himself. She had fallen asleep in Edward's bed while she made sure she was okay last night. She turned around in the bed to look for Edward, but he was gone. She sat up and looked around for him, she saw him standing by his full length mirror adjusting his tie. He was wearing a sleek looking black suit and he had a cold expression on his face as he went through his daily morning ritual of getting ready. Bella just looked at him, he was like a cold, impossibly beautiful statue. His green eyes seemed to be a million miles away , he caught a glimpse of her in the mirror and turned around.

"You can leave now. Thank you for last night, it will never happen again." He said coldly.

She stared at him with a shocked expression on her small, heart shaped face. She threw the covers off her and scrambled onto her feet. She stopped for a second, so she wouldn't look like an awkward girl trying to run away so she wouldn't cry in front of him. She turned her head to look him directly into the eyes, her big brown eyes filling with tears.

"After all I did for you, how can you just stand there and be so cold? How is it possible for someone to be so cold?" She asked with bitter emotion in her voice.

She felt like her throat was closing up on her and she felt like she couldn't breathe. How many times could someone be rejected and then get up and keep trying? It made her feel worthless, like she was just not enough to have something as simple as love.

Edward stared at the young girl, her eyes were filled with tears and it pulled at his heartstrings, but he kept his cool exterior. The cold, indifferent mask on his face remained the same. He pulled at his silk, navy tie and looked directly into her eyes. She was making it difficult for him, he could not hurt her, he rather have her think he was a monster than to hurt her and cause her to feel pain, although it was probably too late for that since she had tears in her eyes.

"Hmm I suppose you can call it cold, I prefer to call it my personality.I thanked you for your kindness, what more do you want?" He said casually.

She took a deep breath and exhaled. She shook her head and had a look of disgust on her face.

"I want nothing Edward. I want absolutely nothing from you." She said with a definite tone in her voice.

She looked down at the ground as she walked out of his room and shut the door behind her. After she left he ran his fingers through his hair, he had never felt guilt for treating people badly in a long time and he was confused when he suddenly felt wracked with guilt. If she only knew what he was capable of then she would understand.

Bella ran down the stairs and ran into her room, brushing past Adrianna. She shut the door and leaned her back against it as a fresh flow of tears fell down from her eyes, she let them flow as she closed her eyes and felt her heart ache. She quickly wiped them away, this was exactly why she didn't want to fall in love. She hated the rollercoaster ride you had to go on when you had any form of feelings for someone. It made you feel confused and sad. "What was the point of putting your heart through hell for fleeting emotions?" Bella thought to herself. She slid her back down the door until she was sitting on the floor, she pulled her knees up to her chest and slightly rocked back and forth. She couldn't do this to herself, she would have to push any feelings she had for Edward to the very bottom depths of her heart. She had to protect herself from him, she would stay away from him as much as she could. It all sounded so good to her, but how could you kill a feeling? It seemed impossible to her.

Edward had walked down to her room, he didn't know what he was doing. He couldn't apologize, but he had to find out if she was okay. He was about to knock on her door when he heard sobs coming from the other side of the door. He closed his eyes, she didn't deserve this. He would have to stay away from her, it was the best thing to do. Arianna walked up to him, she seemed afraid, he wondered why everyone always seemed to be afraid of him. Was he really that much of a monster?

"What did you do to nice girl?" She asked, sounding a bit brave now.

Edward glared at her, he wanted to tell the help to mind her own business, but he knew she was right.

"I don't know." He admitted honestly.

"Find out and then fix it, you look happy when she get here." She said in broken english.

He knew she was right, it would be the best thing to do.

"Yeah I guess so." He said.

He knew that right now wouldn't be a good time to speak to her, he straightened
