"No! No, absolutely not Bella! I'm tired of having this argument with you!" Edward growled storming out of the bed room of our little cottage.

Argument? How is this an argument? All I said was I wanted to go visit Marcus and Felix in Italy. He was the one who started yelling. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure it takes two people yelling for it to be an argument. This happened every time I even mentioned Marcus or Felix for the last few years. Normally when this happened someone else from the house would hear him and would try to calm him down but everyone else was getting ready for Nessie and Jacob's wedding; so I was on my own.

"Edward. Why would it be such a big deal? They are my family just as much as the others are. It's not right for you to keep me from them." I hissed. "I told that night I came back from the clearing that night, after Felix told me what you said to him, that you can't just go and decide wither or not they are right for me to be around and you can't go and say that Marcus isn't my father." He was furious when I told him that I went and saw Marcus and Felix in the clearing after the whole deal with the Voultri. I didn't tell him about what happened between Felix and me of course.

Edward let out a deep sigh. "Bella. If I let you go they are not going to want to let you go. Marcus has an unhealthy attachment to you that I don't like. As for Felix, let's just say his thoughts aren't appropriate to think about a married woman." I was grateful more times then some to be a vampire. I couldn't blush and give away anything.

"Edward, please. Try and understand." I pleaded to him.

"No. You are not going to Italy and that's final." Edward turned on his heels and walked out of the cottage, ending the conversation. I stomped back into the bed room, slamming the door behind me.

I know he's my husband and I love him more then my own life… But where does he get off telling me that I can't go see my own father dammit?! If you really think about it, I was very naive as a child and my judgment and way of thinking wasn't the best. If I never met Marcus I wouldn't have had such an open mind about vampires. If I never did I would have never fell in love with Edward. I'd just freak out. If anything Edward should thank my father.

I fingered the little Iris flower that hanged on the bracelet around my wrist. I was completely shocked about how I reacted to him kissing me. Why didn't I hit him? Why didn't I yell at him? Why did I kiss him back? Why did kissing him back feel so right? I hated myself completely for it. Not only was it a betrayal to my husband and family but I might have been leading Felix on to thinking that there was a chance of him and me actually getting together. I'm a slut. A tramp. A tease. A fucking bitch.

I was broken out of my thoughts when my cell phone rang. I flipped it open. It was an unknown call from an area code that I didn't recognize. "Hello?"

"Hello Bella." I almost dropped the phone when I heard the voice on the other end.

"A- Aro?" I squeaked out.

"Yes Bella it's me! It's so wonderful to hear your voice again! You sound so surprise to hear mine!" Aro said, gleefully.

"I… I am… I never thought I'd get a call from you… I didn't even know you knew how to use a phone!" I was sure he did everything the old fashion way.

"I don't. Felix had to show me." Aro explained. I had to fight down a laugh that threatened to come out. I could just imagine Felix trying to simply show Aro how a phone worked while Aro said how "fascinating" the whole process was.

"Bella? Are you still there?" Aro called.

"Ye- Yes. I'm here."

"I was wondering if you would do me the pleasure of coming to Italy. Your mind power really intrigues me. I've been baffled by it ever since you were a child. I would really love to study it." Aro said eagerly form the other end of the phone. I could feel my jaw drop open. Just a few moments ago I was "arguing" Edward about going to Italy and here was Aro, crazy Aro, asking me to come. This could be a perfect excuse…. No. no matter how perfect the excuse was Edward would never let me go.

"Edward really doesn't want me to go to Italy?" I explained.

"Then just don't tell him." Aro said like it was no big deal. Not telling him and simply sneaking over there was an idea that appealed to me several times. But what would that do to the trust Edward and I had if he thought I snuck off to see Marcus and Felix… Aro wants to "study" me. I'm not going to Italy to see Marcus and Felix. No, I may bump into them from time to time but really I'm going up there to see Aro. It was a weak excuse but it worked for me.

"I'll be there sometime tomorrow."

"Wonderful!" Aro exclaimed. "I'll send someone to meet you there tomorrow! Till we meet, goodbye Bella!"

"Goodbye Aro." I hung up and immediately punched in another number.

"Hello?"

"Hey Jake. Can you come over?"
