The Game that Started the Problem

Chapter 1

Bella POV

We'd been sitting at my kitchen table, staring into each other's eyes. I couldn't help it, my mouth opened as I was staring into Edward's topaz eyes. As one we said, "One, two, three!"

We showed our cards at once and I jumped for joy. I had a full house and Edward had two seven's. At that, he knew what to do. He took off his over shirt, reveling his well defined arms and a white wife beater. I delt another hand and I won again. Edward took off his wife beater gracefully.

I remembered how this got all started:

We were sitting on my couch watching television when I suddenly thought of something, "Edward?"

"Yes, my one and only?"

"Want to play a little game with me?"

"Anything you want."

"Do you know how to play poker?," I said smiling.

"Of course I do."

"Well, do you know how to play strip poker?," I made a giggling sound.

He laughed, "Bells... what are you up to?"

At him saying that, I knew he knew how to play. I ran over to the table where I had already put out a deck of cards, but I tripped like usual on my way. And like clockwork, he was there to catch me and bring his ice cold lips to mine. I melted right there.

I couldn't help myself, I stopped everything I was doing and jumped over the table and kissed him. We were deep into the kiss, my hands were roaming over his beautiful chest and then in mid-kiss, he stopped and backed away from me.

I asked, "Edward, is there something wrong?" Before he could say anything I finally noticed, "Edward! Your eyes are black!!"
