Chapter Fifty one
This Sunday dinner is different from all the other ones because Cyrus and I are in good terms. We are not in love or friends but we have an understanding now and I don’t dread the thought of being close to him anymore. He calls to tell me he will be a little late so, he told Denis to take me and we will meet there.
I get there before he does and get inside, everyone is already there and when Cullen tries to talk to me I don’t ignore him but don’t encourage him either. He is still in the hot seat, don’t want him to start getting any ideas. Just before we head to the dining Cyrus comes in and heads straight for me before he even greets his parents, he full on kisses me on the mouth with his parents there, and I nearly die of embarrassment.
Cyrus has always been doting in his parents’ house but he has never kissed me before, not in front of his parents either or anyone else to be honest. We then move to the dining but Cyrus asks a few minute to go change in his room before he joins us. Cullen asks me if we can talk as we head to the dining and I tell him ill think about it.
Dinner is a small quite affair and everyone seems to be in happy mood except for Cullen who keeps throwing Cyrus and I disappointed eyes, maybe he saw Cyrus’s hand under the table as he massaged my thighs during the whole meal, Cyrus is pulling all the strings tonight and it smells trouble.
After dinner my father in law gets a call and asks for Cullen and Cyrus to join him, after a talk in the office they all leave saying its an emergency. My mother says I must be getting used to the emergencies right now though it never gets easier getting worried if your husband and kids are going to come back home alive and in one piece. What she doesn’t know is that this will be the first time I get worried about Cyrus being out there at night doing dangerous stuff.
It’s not because I don’t care or love Cyrus, I do. It’s because I have been so scared and mad at him for so long wondering what he is going to do and what to do I never thought he was out there probably getting shot at and could die and I would never get to see him again. This is scary, I hate that it’s in my brain and I have to think about it now.
It’s late when my mother in law convinces me to go to bed, apparently it might take all night because you never know about these things. We pray for them and I am stupidly heading to Cullen’s room when my mother in law calls behind me
“Bella, why are you going into Cullen’s room? You do remember you’re married to his brother now” she says in a teasing manner, I know she doesn’t want me to feel embarrassed
“Shoot, I am so sorry. I am just so used to this house and sleeping in there and I have a lot on my mind with Cyrus I got confused.”
“It’s okay, I understand. It happens to the best of us. Used to habits”
“Yes. Um…should I go to Cyrus room? He never wanted us in his room it was like the red zone, I don’t want to impose and make him mad. I should probably just sleep in my room, it has my clothes there. I haven’t stepped inside for so long, it’s crazy to even call it my room now” I know I am rumbling I can’t help it
“This is your home Bella. Like I said, they probably won’t be back tonight; you can choose whatever room you want. Just not Cullen’s or your in-laws master bedroom, okay?” she teases me and caresses my cheek as she heads to her bedroom.
I can’t believe I nearly went into my brother in-laws room, how in appropriate and Cullen and I are not even talking anymore. Thinking of what happened between us, it’s the last place I should have thought of going. But I can’t go into Cyrus’s room either so I decide to sleep in my old bedroom in the house. It gets cleaned, so it’s clean and comfortable although I can count the number of times I have slept in this bedroom.
I wake up in the morning to a knock on the door before Cullen comes in with breakfast wearing a wife beater and a tracksuit; he looks like he just had a shower before coming in
“I know how lazy you can get with breakfast so I brought you your favorites” Cullen says setting the dishes on the bedside table
“What are you doing?” I ask him
“Bringing you breakfast in bed, mom said you stayed up last night, I thought it would….”
“You should leave before anyone sees you, and take your breakfast with you. I don’t want more problems” I quickly say giving him a serious look
“Look Bella, I am sorry. I am just trying to make up for it, that’s why I asked to talk to you. You’re my best friend and I miss you, I know it won’t be easy and it will take time but I want to earn your forgiveness”
“My forgiveness won’t solve the problems I have right now Cullen, if you weren’t such a….” I say, gritting the last word but am interrupted when the door is opened again without a knock
“Hey Cullen, I didn’t know you were coming to see Bella” Cyrus says as he gets inside the room with a tray of breakfast of his own too
I am panicking inside; what if Cyrus thinks there is something between us? Did he hear me? What would he think of this when I tell him the truth?
“I was actually going to my room and I remembered what a sleepy head she was and decided to offer her my breakfast. I could always go back down for seconds” Cullen says smiling at me as he does.
“Well you can have your breakfast now. Mom made this for Bella, apparently a good husband surprises his wife with breakfast in bed.” Cyrus says giving Cullen his tray back and lacing the one he bought on my lap
“Thank you” I tell him as I set it aside
“What you don’t like it?” Cyrus asks watching me as Cullen gets the cue and finally leaves
