Chapter Fifty seven
I knew as soon as I said I shouldn’t have. What we do or don’t do should be between me and Cyrus and it’s no one’s business, but Cullen got on my nerves and I found myself blurting it out. Cullen is my best friend and Cyrus’s brother, we are family, I am sure it’s not so bad.
“Your brother is a gentleman, okay”
“I know my brother wouldn’t force himself on a woman especially you, I mean who would even believe you anyway. But damn my brother can’t have not touched you for so long its impossible”
“Well it has happened, so….”
“No wonder he has been such an ass lately. I mean I know he is an asshole but he has been such a pain recently, hohohoooo I guess it’s because he isn’t getting any” he says full on laughing
“Would you stop that? Nothing about this is funny”
“I am so sorry but this is the best news I have heard ever since I knew you were marrying Cyrus. So give me a minute” he says laughing hysterically.
I haven’t seen Cullen this happy in a while and maybe he deserves a few laughs so I let him. But then in five minutes he is still laughing and it’s starting to get on my nerves again
“I think you have had your fun for one day. This is serious, did you tell him about us? He said something that meant he knew I wasn’t pure anymore”
“Calm down, you know how Cyrus is like, we grew up with him. You make him mad and he starts spitting shit about you.”
“You really think so?”
“Don’t worry your secrets safe with me and I wouldn’t tell a soul, who would even believe me? I mean Cyrus is already servicing that…..” he says as he starts laughing on the last sentence and full blown laughing again
“You’re acting like a child right now” I say annoyed he is both making fun of me and not taking my problem seriously
“Oh Bella I am so glad you decided to call me today and believe me, Cyrus will never find out anything about you and me. At least not from me anyway”
“He is going to find out. What do I do?”
“You still want to run away with me? I could do it but I will need a little more time”
“No. I know what to do, I have to get in front of this and deal with the consequences, he is my husband now, and maybe he will have pity on me”
“Yeah. Whatever you say Bella” he says grinding his teeth as he does. What’s his problem now?
“What did you get for lunch?”
“Yeah sorry I forgot my father gave me something to do today, I have to cut this short.”
“Oh, you’re leaving?”
“Sorry. I promise to make it up to you” he says with a make smile
“Okay. I think I am just going to hang back with your stuff if you don’t mind”
“It’s fine. Enjoy them” he says and then stands up patting my head awkwardly like a little child, sighing and then slowly moving further and further away from me.
I sit there at the park and have the lunch Cullen prepared for us on my own and just enjoy nature and the scenery before me. I decide today is the day I tell Cyrus the truth and be damned what happens next, it has eaten at me enough already. Later in the evening I ask Denis to take me to my favorite spa to relax before I go home and eventually face my judgment.
I get home with pizza for dinner I picked up on the way. The plan is to get to my room, have a bath, eat and then wait up for Cyrus until he comes home. He is still a little pissed at me but luckily he will give me a chance to talk.
When I get inside the apartment I am instantly attacked by the smell of fresh delicious cooking meal coming from the kitchen. I walk inside and find that Cyrus has prepared the table for two and he is coming from the kitchen holding dishes. I stand stunned with the pizza box; he sets the dishes on the table and immediately comes for me. He kisses me on the forehead, tosses away the box and pulls me into his embrace
I am sorry about last night. Do you like my apology? He says presenting the table with his hands to me. I can’t fight the smile that comes to my face and I know I forgive him, I was never mad at him in the first place
“Did you make all this? No heated food?” I ask teasingly smiling up at him
“I did make the pasta and the sauce but Margret should get her credit for the other dishes”
“Thank you so much for this. I like it” I say and he lightly kisses my nose and helps me inside my chair before he helps me serve my plate and then does the same for his plate.
We sit down and have a quite dinner while we keep smiling and I keep giggling whenever our eyes meet at the dinner table. He takes our plate and brings in dessert and I can’t help it, where has this man been?
“This is a huge surprise for me. I didn’t know you had it in you Cyrus”
“Well I had to take a few looks at my father’s methods before I did this, plus I couldn’t let my own brother try to flirt with my wife in my own house”
“Aha. I knew something had to have moved you”
“I was hoping I could have my dessert since I have been such a good boy all night”
“We still have to talk first. I am not having sex with you until then” I say smiling at him but inside my stomach coils at the thought
“I want to have my dessert first. We can still talk tomorrow” he answers standing up and coming towards me. I instantly strengthen myself on the chair and grow tense. He caresses his finger along my arm very slowly making my hair rise
“Relax; I am not taking your sacred flower tonight. I just want to eat you like dessert” he says as he pushes the dishes on the table with one hand then hoisting me up and setting me on the table.
