It'll Come Naturally

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. It's just...something happened and I'm a little distracted. Please don't take it to heart." Playing with the buttons on Edward's black shirt, Daisy lowered her head and answered absently. She didn't dare to look into Edward's angry eyes. She knew she had upset him again. He was like a lion that just woke up from its sleep; he was angry and aggressive. Daisy didn't have the courage to face the disappointment in his eyes.

With his eyes fixed on Daisy's hands, Edward quietly watched Daisy play with his shirt and said nothing to stop her. After a while, he finally broke silence, "Now tell me. Who did you run into today? Was it Jessica? Or someone from the Ouyang family? What did they say or do to you to make you act like this? Don't ever try to deny this or lie to me. I know you don't want me to worry, but it doesn't work that way. I just need the truth."

Mixed emotions surged in his eyes. Something must be wrong, otherwise Daisy wouldn't be acting like this. Although Edward didn't want to force Daisy into talking, he knew there were things they had to solve sooner or later. The sooner they took care of them, the less pain they would suffer. It had suddenly come to him that it was time for him to take care of a lot of things before they got worse.

"Edward, would you mind telling me something about Jessica? I'm really curious. You were never short of dates; so what did you see in her that made you be with her for all these years? Her beauty? Her body? Maybe something else?" Daisy wasn't foolish. She knew the relationship between Edward and Jessica wouldn't be just as simple as friends with benefits. If it was merely sexual, there were so many women would die trying to crawl into Edward's bed; he didn't have to hold on to Jessica. Therefore, the only reasonable explanation left was that Edward had some other feelings for Jessica. That made sense to Daisy.

"So you saw Jessica today. What? Do you really want to hear me talk about her?" asked Edward as a hint of desire flashed through his eyes. He grabbed Daisy's hands to stop her from further turning him on. He was aroused by her simple moves even if she didn't mean to seduce him. Edward knew he wasn't a lascivious man, yet Daisy could easily turn him on with only a smile or a touch. Never before had any woman been capable of that, and Daisy did it without even knowing it. Edward suddenly realized he was madly and deeply in love with her.

She spent so many days and nights watching him from pictures, shedding tears and envying Jessica, because Jessica could stand by Edward's side as his girlfriend while Edward didn't even remember who Daisy was.
