Edward's POV

My head is pounding. It feels like the seven dwarfs made my brain their workplace. When I try to open my eyes, the sunlight blinds me. I groan loudly and then freeze as I feel movement at my side. I open my eyes again and see the small womanly body next to me. She's wearing a shirt, that's a good sign right? It means we didn't have sex? Then I move and the cover falls, she may be wearing a shirt but neither of us is wearing pants. I see a small birthmark at the base of her back and my mouth falls open. I know that birthmark. It's my best friends. Bella Cullen.

" Shit! Dammit! Bella, wake up. We've got a problem.", I shake her awake. She moans and then rolls over to glare at me. Then she notices she's got no pants on. She yanks the comforter up.

" Oh god, did we...Did we um, y'know?", She asks. I sigh sadly and put my head in my hands. How could I do this? How could I be so foolish? What about my Tanya? She's going to be devastated! She's going to hate me! Bella moves off the bed and then groans.

" We definitely had sex.", She sighs.

" How do you know? Maybe we just got hot and took off our pants.", I growl.

" Oh I don't know Edward, how about because I'm freaking sore in a place I shouldn't be sore in. Also, looks like we forgot to clean up after our little escapade. I've got the evidence dried onto my thigh.", her tone is angry.

" Fuck! Bella, what the hell am I going to do? I have to tell Tanya! What if she calls the wedding off? I can't lose her!", I cried.

" Just...Calm down. Shit...", She gawks at my hand. I look down and I roll my eyes. I look at her hand.

" Perfect! Just, Fucking perfect!", I run my hands through my hair. " What am I supposed to do? How do I fix this?", I murmur to myself.

" I-I'll get divorce papers drawn up. You'll sign them. You and Tanya's wedding isn't for another three months so the waiting period will be over.", she strides past me and into the bathroom. I decide that I should call Tanya. She answers the phone and my heart breaks. Her voice is so sweet. She talks to me with so much love and all I can think about is how much I hurt her.

We get back on a plane to Forks, Washington. The flight shouldn't take too long. The silence between Bella and I is awkward. I can't talk to her though. She had less to drink than me, she should have known what was going on and put a stop to it. The plane ride lasts three hours. We land in Seattle and then drive back to Forks. I drop Bella at her apartment without so much as a goodbye. She tells me that she'll call me when the papers are in. I nod my head and then go home. Tanya is waiting for me. I walk in and set my luggage down. She wraps her arms around me and I breathe in deep.

" We need to talk.", I quietly whisper to her. She pulls back with a worried expression.

" What's wrong?", she asks. I lead her over to the couch and we sit down. I put my head in my hands.

" I cheated.", I state.

" At what? Blackjack? Honey that's fine, you counted cards, so what?", her perfectly plucked eyebrows come together.

" No Tanya. I had an affair. I swear to you, I didn't mean it. It meant nothing to me.", I rush out.

" Who? How far did it go?", she asks in a emotionless tone.

" Bella... We had sex... We got married.", Tanya gasps, a look of pain covers her face and her hand covers her mouth. " She's already getting divorce papers ready. Tanya, I'm sorry. I can't tell you how sorry I am. I didn't mean for it to happen, I don't even remember it.", I promise her.

" I love you. That is why, I'm going to forgive you. Under one condition.", She growls.

" Anything! I'll do anything for you.", I say desperately.

" Other than signing those papers, you are to have nothing to do with that whore ever again. You will not see her, you will not talk to her. You won't even wave if you pass by on the street. I want her completely cut out of your life.", She demands. I've known Bella since first grade. She's been my first everything. Can I get rid of her that easily? I know the answer. For Tanya, yes. I'll get rid of her. I'll get rid of everything in my life resembling her. Especially my marriage to her.

" Ok, she's out. I love you. Please, don't forget that. I'm so sorry.", I kiss her deeply and she responds to it. She takes me to bed and has her way with me. When I stare at the ceiling while she's sleeping, I think of the friendship I'm going to lose. I think of all the years Bella supported me. I'll act like this is easy, but it won't be. Fuck, whoever said ' What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas' has apparently never had something bad happen to them in Vegas.

So what did you think? Is Edward being to harsh on Bella? Is Tanya to forgiving?
