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.
"Yes. I want to know. Would you tell me?" Of all Edward's ex-girlfriends, Daisy chose to ask about Jessica because she was the
one who had stayed with him for the longest time. Daisy wondered why she was different and how Edward felt about her.
Edward gently kissed her forehead and rested his chin on her shoulder, his arms tightly around her slim waist, as if he was afraid
that she would disappear the next minute. Then he whispered in her ear, "Would you believe me if I tell you that I didn't break up
with her simply because she helped me drive away those women I don't like?"

"I don't understand. For all these years, I have only seen how differently you treated her, and how special she was to you. Your
story sounds so feeble. I'm not sure whether or not I should believe you. The truth is, I don't even know what to believe."
Daisy had kept a whole stack of newspapers and magazines with pictures and reports about the sweet story between Edward
and Jessica during the past six years. How could she ever forget about those? 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. Now that Edward told her there was nothing special going on between him and Jessica
and he was only using her, should Daisy trust him? Daisy was confused.
"That's why I said you're too simple to be a colonel sometimes. Don't you get it? If I didn't treat her differently, would other women
be convinced that we were in a relationship and stop bothering me?" Edward knew Jessica wasn't as sweet and innocent as she
appeared to be, but he couldn't care less. After all, he had no intentions to seriously date her. He behaved as if they were lovey-
dovey in public; however, he was just putting on an act. He merely took advantage of her and used her as an excuse to turn
down all the other women chasing after him. He had no feelings for Jessica. If he did, he wouldn't have broken up with her
immediately when he noticed that Justin didn't like her.
"Didn't you enjoy it? Being chased after by all kinds of beautiful women and watching them fight for your attention. Why would
you want to turn them down?" Daisy was more confused by his words. Was there anything she didn't know? It seemed he was
different from the man she thought he'd be. Daisy noticed long time ago, no woman could stay with Edward for more than three
days, except for Jessica. Didn't that mean she was special to him?
"Okay, I'll tell you everything you want to know. Take it as a little treat." Edward said as he opened the door and sat into the
backseat; then with a sudden burst of strength, he dragged Daisy into the car and made her sit on his lap, his arms around her
waist. The position was too flirtatious that Daisy blushed with embarrassment. She wriggled and tried to break free from
Edward's grip.
"Hold still. Unless you want me to do you right here and right now." Edward held her tighter and leaned forward to whisper
hoarsely in her ear, his warm breath falling on her earlobe. His warning was blunt and sexual; Daisy froze all of a sudden and
wouldn't dare to move a muscle again. She knew Edward was a man of his word. He always meant what he said. Therefore she
wouldn't dare to move at the moment.
"Edward, you're a jerk!" Daisy gradually came to realize that she always gave in when Edward threatened her with such things.
There was nothing she could do about it. She got annoyed. Was Edward the death of her? Edward was the man she could never

turn down. Whatever he wanted her to do, she would be doing it without any hesitation or regret because she loved him so
much. She didn't know how to reject him, for such a thing didn't even exist in her world.
"What jerk? That's just a normal physiological reaction! Any man will be turned on with the love of his life in his arms, unless he's
impotent. But I'm not, and I love you."
Edward calmly excused himself with a smirk, as if he was telling Daisy something as simple as one and one equals two.
However, Daisy found his look very annoying, and she really wanted to punch him in the face. 'Maybe he'd stop teasing me and
be quiet for a while with a black eye.' Daisy thought to herself sulkily.
"Are you trying to distract me so you wouldn't have to talk about Jessica with me?" Okay, if he wanted her to sit on his lap, then
she would. Big deal! Daisy shrugged and remained still in his arms. She didn't wear her uniform today, so she wouldn't bring
shame to the army if someone should pass by and see them like this. Besides, it wasn't the central park downtown, they hardly
saw anyone around. The only sound they could hear was birds singing joyfully on the branches above them.
