Hate at First Sight

Chapter 36

Lea's P.O.V.:

How could she does this to me?

After The Bitch, a.k.a. Alice, left the room I looked at Ed. Confusion was clear in his eyes, but I knew what was clear in mine: hurt. I was hurt. Did he honestly not know it wasn't me?

"Lea, I can explain. Can you please let me explain what happened?" Ed begged.

I crossed my arms over my chest and bit the inside of my cheek to stop the tears from falling. I didn't say anything, but I think he knew it was his turn to speak, because he did.

"I came here and, apparently, Alice opened the door and instantly hugged me. Then she pulled away and said in an Irish accent that 'Alice gave you a make over'. I believed her and now I wish I hadn't. One thing led to another and we started kissing and I swear Lea I didn't mean to hurt you. I never wanted to hurt you and if you want to break up with me, I'll understand, but please you have to know that I had no clue whatsoever that it wasn't you," he finished.

I stared at him not knowing what to do. Should I forgive him? I want to forgive him. I love him. I opened my mouth to say something and Ed took a step forward and took my hands in his. "I believe you, Ed. But we've known each other for so long. You should know by now that I won't ever wear those clothes or that much make-up. It disgusts me and it'll make me look like a cake face," I said.

"But I like cake," he joked. I cracked a smile and uncrossed my arms. I looked at him for a while and then hugged him tightly. He stumbled back a little, surprised by my move, but then he hugged me back. "I forgive you, Ed. I love you. I just don't forgive Alice. I probably never will," I said and pulled away. I looked at Ed and saw he had a smirk on his face. I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. "What?" I asked, now me being the one who was confused. "You love me?" He grinned. I blushed and looked down at my feet. "Maybe," I said, still not looking at him. He cupped my face in his hands and softly kissed me. "Well, good, because I love you too," he smiled lovingly. I wrapped my arms around him and kissed him again.

After a while we went downstairs and thanked God that Alice wasn't in the room. I may or may not have killed her if she was. She's probably cheating on Ben. Or having sex with him. It's a toss up. Whatever, I don't even care anymore. But I don't understand why? Why would she does this to me? I thought we liked each other. She bought me puppies for crying out loud! This whole situation confuses me.

I plopped down on the sofa next to Ed. We put on The Lion King and cuddled the entire time. He kissed the top of my head occasionally.

Because I didn't sleep the night before I fell asleep during the movie, still wondering why Alice is doing this.
