The Styles Triplets

Chapter 17

"The beach? You brought me to the beach?"

"Were having a picnic. I know it's cheesy, but you girls like that sappy romantic crap so I thought you'd like it." Edward replied.

"Don't act like you're not into sappy romantic crap." I told Edward laughing, pointing a finger at him

"I might be." he answered and we got out of the car.
Edward grabbed the picnic basket and we headed to the sand.

The place was deserted and it was pretty dark out. Ed had brought a few lanterns and set them around us after he laid the blanket on the cold surface of the sand.
"This is nice."

"See I knew you'd like it." He winked.

"So what do you have for us tonight?" I asked, "I'm starving."

"Well, I was going to make us something fancy but I figured that was unoriginal. So I just ordered pizza instead and put it in this fancy looking container." Edward said as he pulled out the container and plates.

"Perfect! I love pizza!" I exclaimed.

"I also have Pepsi." He said wiggling his eyebrows.

"My favorite." I winked back.
Edward gave me two slices of pizza and we both dug in. Honestly, it was nice just having pizza on a date instead of some grand dinner.
We both took a bite of our pizza and sat back, "This is nice."

"Very romantic." Edward agreed and took another bite of his pizza.

As we finished up our food, I snuggled up next to him and laid my head on his chest. I could hear his heart beat. It was beating at the same speed as mine, which was actually pretty fast. Edward leaned back to where we were both lying down on the blanket. Smiling, I wrapped a leg around him and my arm around his torso. Edward kissed my forehead, and held me close.

"Edward, I really like you." I said suddenly

"I really like you too." He agreed.

I wanted to tell him how much he meant to me, but I couldn't seem to tell him. "You're n-nice."
What the hell?! You're nice?!

"Thank you?" he chuckled, "Listen, Alex. I really need to tell you something."

"I need to tell you something too." I replied.

"Well, ladies first."

Here goes nothing.
"You really do mean a lot to me." I started, "When I'm with you, I just feel so happy. Not a lot of guys actually take interest in me, so I'm still kind of new to all this. But-"

"Okay. Alex stop." he interrupted.
We sat up and I looked at him confused and hurt.
What is he doing?!
"You're not making this any easier to tell you. I lied okay?"

"Lied? Edward, what are you-"

"I lied about Marcel liking you. I'm so sorry!"

I leaned back a bit, realizing what he just said, "W-What?!"

"I know I said he didn't like you, but in reality I have no idea if he does or not. I just said that out of jealously." he explained.

I stood up and took a step back from him, "I-I can't believe you! You lied to me?!"

"Alex, I'm so so sorry." he apologized, standing up and holding my hands.

I yanked from his grasp, "Don't touch me!"

"Alex, please-"

"No! Just, just leave me alone." I told him and started to walk off.
I can't stand liars.
