Twilight: Bella vs Tanya

Decision

Edward’s POV

It had been 4 weeks since I hadn’t touched the piano, I never really had the time to I, I occupied my time doing certain things with my wife. I decided to escape here for a while. I sat in the quiet room where there was just me and my grand piano, a smile was suddenly bought to my face when I played Bella’s lullaby, the music I had composed for my beautiful wife when she was human. After I finished with the song I played a piece from Beethoven. I loved pressing my fingers on the keys every time they touched the keys a part of me would burst with joy. My piano is one of my personal possessions that I adored.

“Isn’t that beautiful”, said a soft feminine familiar voice, I instantly knew who it was judging by the sent. I turned my head and saw her leaning on the door as she smiled.      

“Tanya”, I simply said after being knocked out of a short trance of my piano and I.

“I always knew what a wonderful pianist you are”, her smile grew bigger as she walked towards me. unconsciously I stopped playing.

“Don’t stop on my account, I was enjoying that”, she stood beside me and rested her arms on pianos side.

“I think I remember this song it’s”

“Beethoven”, we said in unison.

“It never gets old”, she said.

“No, never”, I smiled.

“I’ve missed hearing you play the last time I did was a couple of year back when you stayed over at Alaska”, the smile remained on her face.

“Do you remember”? she questioned me her smile touching her golden eyes.

“Ah yes, Mozart, that was Carmen’s favourite piece”. I couldn’t her but smile back as I reminisced those days when I had stayed with the Denali’s

“Yes, it’s a shame no matter how much she tried to play the exact tune the way you did it, it didn’t come out right” Tanya demonstrated  Carmen’s version of Mozart, I busted out laughing in an instant. Carmen was a very terrible player she tried to learn how to play but she never quiet got it.

Tanya on the other hand played the piano very well, she did a good interpretation of Carmen. My laughter reminded me of how much I actually missed the coven. It had been so long, the last time I had visited them was when I ran away from home because of Bella. Her scent ruled my mind and I couldn’t stay in forks until my I could control myself.

Tanya came to sit beside me on the bench

 a part of me couldn’t help but feel awkward by her presence, I knew what a lovely woman she was but truly I  didn’t want her to be here, I knew she had feelings for me but I didn’t want us being alone together make this hard for the both of us.

She started to play Beethoven, it truly was graceful. The way she played the music so casually. Tanya’s thoughts were a little confusing, she thought of rainbows and shades of blue. Her body stiffened as her smiled died down and I was suddenly curious by her sudden seriousness. Her eyes focused on the keys as so much emotion was put into the song. If she was human I swear she would have cried as she played.

“Beautiful, Beautiful, I-can’t, I can’t, Tanya control yourself, Baby blue, Purplish blue, dark blue”  her thoughts gave me a headache, I couldn’t keep up nor could I comprehend was she was thinking of. Was she trying to block her thoughts from me, she didn’t want me to know her true thoughts, she was hiding something.

My eyes were drew to her fingers and then to her face. I’ve never seen her act this way before, in the years I’ve known her she’s never looked so vulnerable, so sad, yet so sweet and uncomfortable. The last time I saw her she was smiling, she was happy so why did her mood change all of a sudden.
