1918 ~ B
Edward
had taken another week off from work. His face had finally calmed down and
after telling Jasper and Emmett about what had transpired with Tanya, he felt
more at peace. Still mainly an empty shell, but a more Zen empty shell.
He
looked at the phone, seeing Bella’s text. It was the first time he’d heard from
her since he stopped by at the hospital. He wanted to see her.
Where? ~ Masen
I’m off in twenty. There’s a bar near
the hospital. Collins Pub. Meet me there? I need alcohol, food and a hard fuck ~
B
I’ll be there ~ Masen
Edward
picked up his jacket, wallet and cell phone. He backed out of the garage,
driving to the bar. He parked and went inside. He saw Isabella sitting at the
bar, still dressed professionally in a blouse and tight skirt, from her time at
the hospital, taking a shot of something. She put it down, pointing to it.
“Another one,” Bella said. The bartender filled up her shot glass and she
slammed it. Edward slid behind her, putting some money on the bar. “Dr. Masen,”
she chirped. “You buying me drinks?”
“It
would appear so,” he said. He looked at the bartender. “Can we get a table?”
“Open
seating, man,” he replied. “Change?”
“Keep
it,” Edward said, sliding his arm around Bella’s waist and guiding her to a
booth. “When did you get here?”
“I
may have bit off Dr. York’s head and he sent me home,” Bella said, wrinkling
her nose. “But, I didn’t go home. I came here, like I asked you to do. Which
you did. Thank you.”
“Isabella,
how long?” Edward asked.
“About
two minutes after our conversation,” she said. She looked at him. “Your face
doesn’t look like pizza anymore. And who took out your sutures?”
“My
dad did,” Edward said, pushing a menu toward her. “When did you last eat,
Isabella?”
“I
had a donut before my shift,” she answered. “Twelve hours ago.” She pouted, her
pink lips jutting out. “Today sucked. Major suckage.”
Edward
arched a brow, waving down a server. “What do you want to eat, Isabella?” he
asked. She shrugged, making a face. “Mini sliders with the curly fries. Some
water and … regular or diet soda?”
“Beer,”
Bella said. “I want a beer. Whatever you have on tap that will help me maintain
my buzz.”
The
server chuckled. “For you, sir?”
“Fried
mozzarella and … hmmmm, another serving of sliders. They look good,” Edward
said.
“Beer
for you, too?”
Edward
nodded and looked back at Bella. She’d been served her water and was sipping it
daintily, but she was clearly agitated. “Isabella, why did today suck?”
