Chapter One- First Sight

Edward and I have been best friends for as long as I can remember. I've been in love with him... or should I say known that I was in love with him for three days. The very first time I saw Edward Cullen was when I was three years old and it was my earliest memory. I remember it like it was yesterday.

Flashback:

"Edward! NO! What did Mommy tell you about poking other children? STOP Edward!"

"Ummm... Hello? I'm here to babysit for you... I'm sorry... I broght my daughter with me... I know your son is like three years older than my daughter but I thought they might be able to keep each other entertained for the time being."

"Hi, my name's Esme... and you must be Renee?"

"Yes, um I know you told me he was 6 but I never thought that he would be this good looking."

"Haha, thank you. He certtainly doesn't get it from me. His father is the doctor in this town... You told me that you just moved here?"

"Yes, me and my husband, Charlie, have wanted to get a house in Seatle for as long as we've been together."

"Well maybe I can take you on a tour when I get back. What do you say?"

"Sure! I was just going to go get lunch afterwards... would you like to join me for that... and we can talk about the kids... I think Edward likes Bella... or vis-versa!"

"Oh, I'm sure they'll become great friends soon enough!"

End of Flashback

My mom was the best mom you could ask for. she was funny, smart, whitty, she made my day every day. Esme, Edward's mom, was just like a mom to me... But different than my own. She was the mother that everyone wants, that every little girl wants while shes growing up... She was kind, forgiving, loving, un-selfish, but most of all she was a friend. I could tell her things that I couldn't tell my mom that she has kept a secret to this day. That day in in the park seemed to last forever and he indeed kept me entertained. He kissed me on the cheek that day and knew that I would never kiss anyone else in my whole life. No, I didn't think I would ever LOVE Edward, but I knew that there was a bigger plan for Edward and I, but I hadn't figured that out until three days ago.

Flashback to Three days ago

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Wow Alice... I am WASTED! Edward... do you think that I look good wasted?"

"You don't want me to answer thatBella."

"Bella I think you've had too much to drink... you're going to regret this tomorrow and the next day and the next day... Why did you want to come here anyway?"

To see what you look like wasted Edwardo... why arn't you drinking anything? I bet everyone here is asking the exact same thing right now"

I'm not drnking because everyone else it Bella... someone has to drive us home and you don't seem to have caare in the world right now so I have to me the responsable one."

Welllllllll Eddddward thatsss no fun at all. At least get some champaine..."

Bella, I don't want to put you in any harm at all... I can't ruin any of your perfection"

Wait...WHAT! He just called me perfect... I am not perfect... the last person that called me that was my Ex-boyfriend Jacob. And he only called me that while I was in a bikini during the sunset in Hawii. This was different... The way he looked into my eyes when he said it... The way he hessitated after as in to say 'Do you understand what I ment?' and then went back to his conversation with his brother only stealing glances when he thought I wasn\t looking... He looked... shy... for the first time in twenty years, he looked SHY and I was sure it was because of me... As I looked for another meaning from his words, I realized... There wasn't one... hes realized that he has some form of feelings for me and at the same time, I realized that I not only loved him... no I already knew that, but I was in love with him and that I needed to do something about it. All of this came from seven little words that ment the world to me.

Belllllaaaaa? Earth to Bella... What are you thinking about? We've been saying your name for like five minutes. You okay?"Emmett said

No, no... I'm fine. I was just thinking about stuff... Thats all."I smiled at him and a small smirk came across Edward's face just in time for it to dissapear.

And what stuff would that be Bella?"Edward's grin was huge as he looked at me with question and humor in his eyes.

I had just realized that I should still be drunk right now but I was never more alert. I remembered thinking that I needed to do something about my love for Edward so there, in front of all of my friends, I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.

You Edward... and how impossably in love I am with you."

Complete silence came over my watching friends and then a loud laugh erupted in front of me. It was Emmet. A few seconds later the rest of my friends; Alice- my friend since before I even met Edward, Jasper- Alice's calm yet EXTREAMLY funny boyfriend, Rosalie- Bestfriend extrordinare who is also married to Emmett- the laughing idiot and Edward's brother slash best friend and mine besides everyone else that is. Which left Edward, the only one who wasn't laughing but had his jaw permanantly glued to the floor.

Ed- (gasp) Edwar (laugh) Edward... did you... did you (laugh) Edward did you hear that? Bella just said she was in love with you! Thats funny Bella... why Edward... we all know you wouldn't ever like him like that! Wow Bella... that was great... Ahhh..."

Well that didn't go over too well... Maybe I should have done this privately... Maybe I'm still drunk... no, no... WAIT! Idea! PRETEND to be drunk and no one will ever know... good plan, now put it to action.

Isssssssssss wants sleep nowss... EDWARDS! I screamed EDWARDS takes me aways!"

Your wish is my comand my love Edward"murrmered so softly I don't think I was supposed to hear.

I pressed my nose into Edward's shirt as he picked me up and carried me to his car.

Wait... Alice? Can you drive? Are you going to be okay? I need to take Bella home before she passes out."

Edward, take a chill pill! I havn't had a single sip! Go home and put Bella to bed"she said with a wink

I don't remember anything after that hmmm... maybe I was still drunk... oh well, in my dreams, I was with Edward the whole time and alls I could smell was him. But when the smell went away rather quickly, it woke me up.

Edward? Edward are you there?"I couldn't find him anywhere and then I saw a shadow move and heard hushed wispers behind the door of my room in the house where we all lived

I don't care what you think Emmett... I really love her and... and I think she loves me too, I could see it in her eyes! She loves me and I love her, problem solved... I'm going to ask her to go out with me tonight on a date."

As soon as I heard that I gasped and the wispers stoped and I couldn't hear their breathing anymore. Who was talking to Emmett? And who were they talking about?

Bella? Bells are you awake?"

It was Edward!

Let me know what you think! This is my first Fanfic EVER! AHHHHHH! :D R and R! Thanks ! And sorry for the typos... my computer is... retarded... :) Bye!

Chapter Two- Priorities

I could not believe that this was happening to ME. Me, boring, clumsy, lighthearted Bella Swan. I just heard Edward telling his brother all about his love for me and now he was right here, in my room, waiting for me to say something.

Bella? Bella did you hear all of that?

Oh... you mean the part about you loving me and wanting to ask me out tonight?

Riiiiiight...sooooo?

So what? Will I go on a date with you? Sure... you're my best friend Edward... Why whouldn't I want to go with you? Ha! You should see the look on your face... you look like you're about to pass out...haha...

Well.. you did just hear me talking about how much I love you... You arn't upset about that?

No.. Should I be? I mean... I feel the same way about you and I want to see how things will work with us... Don't you agree?

Why was he questioning this? Wasn't I making it clear enough how much I liked him?
