Chapter 17: Teaser again

“Hey Edward, my man! What’s up?” Jonesy looked up from the chart he was working on as soon as I wheeled myself in the office. I merely grunted, not feeling particularly chatty that morning.

“What’s wrong Eddie?” My dense friend asked pushing aside the chart her was working on to give me his full attention.

“Nothing.” I settled right behind my desk. I powered my computer and avoided his gaze.

“Okay man, spill it!” Jonesy ordered, walking towards my desk. “Spill.” He said once more as soon as he reached my space, sitting on the empty chair in front.

“Where is Bella? Are we expecting her today?”  I tried to sound nonchalant but my tone came out terse and I silently kicked myself. I even realized that I may have ended up looking grim in the process.

Jonesy looked at me long and hard before he spoke. “Bella called me yesterday said she had a call from one of her clients and they needed her in L.A. She said she’ll call to let me know when she’ll be back. I kinda expect that it might take her several days or even a week before we see her back here.”

“Thanks.”

“Eddie, is there something going on between you and Bella?” Jonesy pushed, leaning on my table and I could see from the corner of my eye that he was intently trying to read me.

“Nothing Jonesy, I just wanted to ask her something.” This was basically the truth. I needed some of my questions answered. I wanted to ask her if she still loved me.

Teaser: Irreversible- Chapter 17

“Um… a few days ago, Emmett and I went to see a movie right?” Waited for her to nod and when she did, I continued.

“Emmett got into a fight with this girl,” I stopped when Tanya’s mouth gaped open and wouldn’t close. “No, not fist fight. They got into a popcorn fight. So it escalated to the point that we were all asked to leave in the middle of the movie and ordered to clean up the mess. To cut the long story short, the girl Emmett had a brush in with is a friend of Bella.” As soon as I mentioned the name, Tanya sat up straighter but didn’t say a word.

“So yeah, we were asked to stay and clean right after. So while we were doing so, the girl with a big mouth said something about Bella having to go to Lamaze class.” Tanya’s eyes grew as big as saucers and I could feel her body sag and I felt like an idiot.

“Is the baby yours?”  Tanya’s voice was but a whisper, her face suddenly dropping but her hand instead gripped my hand, as if begging me to run.

“No--”

The door opened and Emmett walked in, one look at us and I could tell that he knew something wasn’t right. He waved to us, dropped his key on the hallway bureau and went into the kitchen, making the as little noise as he possibly could.

“Bella won’t answer my calls. I don’t know…I didn’t even think it was possible.” I finished in a defeated tone. I had no outs. I had sex with another woman, without protecting myself…and her. For this, I was the world’s biggest idiot.

“You had no protection?” Tanya’s voice came out strangled; her eyes started brimming with unshed tears.

“I told you, it happened so fast. I wasn’t thinking… it was a bad move on my part.” Sure, not to mention that I enjoyed it immensely and amnesia was to blame.

*See you guys soon! Same bat-time and same bat-channel! :D

Teaser: Irreversible- Chapter 15

I'm dedicating this teaser to KimiD, a sort of peace offering to alleviate the undue stress that Chapter 14 had caused her. LMAO. Hope you like it girl! Shout out to all of you who may at one point wanted to strangle me for taking this story in the direction akin to the twilight zone.

I haven't applied the corrections suggested by my Beta so please ignore the errors that you may come across.


TEASER: Chapter 15

“Bella, what in the world were you thinking? Don’t you know that unprotected sex can lead to pregnancy and transmission of diseases? For Christ sake, you are 27 years old, not some teenager with a raging hormone.” Alice’s high pitched voice nearly blasted my eardrums as she screamed at me. I pushed myself off the floor and settled on the little sofa in the seating area. Alice followed me, her little pixie face seemed terribly bothered by my revelation.

“I know, well, I am not the one who uses the rubber remember?” Lame but that was all I could come up with. In Edward’s defense, I practically begged him to have sex with me, and the guy was not even ready, I doubted he had sex in mind when he came to my room to check up on me, judging by the way he asked me several times.

“Don’t be smart with me Bella. What happened to No glove, no love? You really went to the dark side this time, you know that?” Alice huffed next to me as I chewed on my lower lip. Yup, I knew this was coming. By all means, Alice was right. I lost it, whatever self respect I have flew out the window when I begged a man, not just any man, Edward of all people to make love to me.

“I know it already, geez, how many times must you tell me that I am such a loser? I get it…I am suffering the consequences now, Am I not?

“What if you get pregnant?” Another question to answer a question. Great!

“No!” I stared at Alice incredulously, only Alice could think of ways to scare me. The question startled me into silence once it sank in. Could Alice possibly be right? What was the likelihood of that happening? The thought scared the shit out of me and I jumped out of the sofa and moved as fast as my ankle would allow me to get to my laptop.

“What are you doing? You didn’t answer my question?” Alice asked a puzzled expression in her face. She followed me to the desk and glanced at the monitor when I typed PARAPLEGIC AND SEX.  Alice made a gurgling noise as I scrolled from one subject to another. I sat down on the chair and started to read the article that seemed closely related to the answer I was looking for.
