“Oh Bella and Edward couldn’t make this evening, they are coming Saturday instead” WTF.

“They have come every Thursday for three months, what the hell happened?” Why the hell had Bella not told me about this last week?

“Bella never offered and explanation and I did not push for one, she just notified me they would be attending Saturday’s session rather than this evening”

I wanted more information than this that was for sure.

After half an hour we had both finished, well I pretended I did, I disposed of the condom immediately so Claire had not realised.

Claire was a stickler for condoms, although we were tested every three months, she would not risk everyone’s ‘extra circular activities’ so to speak.

I had told her on numerous occasions that that was forbidden and Caius would find out, but she assured me, that anything was possible.

I quickly exited the room and headed to Caius’s office, he was there which surprised me, I suspected he was not to bothered about Victoria, his shagging buddy for this evening.

“Ah Edward, how can I help you?”

“Caius I am sorry to disturb you, but there was a question Tanya asked me recently and I was curious to know the answer myself”

Caius looked puzzled.

“The society….when is it possible to leave, I mean is it on your dying day”

“Not mine specifically NO” Caius tried to make a joke, I found the fucker less funny than a piece of grass.

“Is there a point where you agree someone can leave, you know what I mean, age, death along those lines”

“There is certain ways to get out of the society yes” Caius called.

“And would you care sharing those ways?”

“NO” he called sternly.

“When the time for you to leave comes, we will inform you, there is nothing more to discuss on the matter Edward” His voice was sharp and I was pissed off.

“Is there anything else Edward, I have work to be getting on with” Oh I bet you do.

“That will be all Caius, it seems like I am wasting my breath” I called then stormed out, I heard Caius laugh as I left; it took everything in me not to turn around and punch the life out of the scum bag.

I headed back to the dining room to collect my keys I was shocked to see Tanya sitting there waiting for me.

She looked at me pleadingly, I shook my head and she broke down crying.

“How can he keep us here like prisoners, he knows we loath the place” Tanya cried out.

I didn’t loath the place no more since Bella had joined, but tonight had been the worst night of my life, not seeing her face killed me, I had to see her, I had to work out a way…..but how?

“Come on love, let’s head home” I called while pulling her from the seat and placing my arm around her waist.

“I do love you Tanya” I called while kissing her temple and the truth was I did, I did love her with all my heart and soul but the feelings I had for Bella where growing and if feelings for someone else could grow then how the hell can Tanya be the one for me?

The problem is, I can never have Bella and I needed to realise that, the sooner the better, there was only one thing I could do, If Bella did come back to a Thursday evening I had to take the spike off the keys and let fate have a hand in this.

I couldn’t let Tanya down.
