Hello dear readers! I am The Twi-Tard and this is my wonderful lemony one shot! No lets get some things straight I got quite a bit of this one shot from a story called "Hush,Hush" by:Becca Fitzpatric. The difference from this and the book is that the book has 30 chapters and this is a two chapter steamy type thing,so I thought I should let you guys know that just in case I got contacted by the officials saying that I'm being charged with plagiarism.
I don't own Twilight or its characters
I don't own Hush,Hush.
Enjoy!
I huffed haughtily as I plopped down ungraciously in my seat next to my new biology partner,Edward Cullen. I didn't look at him nor did I look at Mr. Banner, the biology teacher I currently hated. Instead I opted to space out stare out the window. This week we started a new topic, the dreaded sex education and since the lesson wasn't uncomfortable enough Mr. Banner decided to assign us new partners to double the awkwardness.
"Mixing it up" he called it.
Ass.
"Isabella?"
Mr. Banner stood behind his desk,his hand indicating that he was waiting for something from me- my answer to a question I didn't hear.
"Could you repeat the question?" I asked.
The class erupted into a fit of giggles.
Mr. Banner said,with slight vexation, "What assets are you drawn to in a possible mate?"
"Possible mate?" I parroted in confusion.
"Yes,Bella we haven't got all day." He replied testily
I could hear my best friend's,Alice, quiet snikers behind me as she joined the class in enjoying my humiliation. I made a mental note to burn down her beloved closet the next time I went over to her house.
A brief image of designer dresses and boots swathed in flames while Alice tried despretly to put it out pop into my minds eye, until a cleared throat brought me back.
"You want me to list characteristics of a...?" I refused to use the word mate again.
"Potential mate," Mr. Banner finished for me. "Yes that would be helpful."
Without registering what I was doing I glanced at Edward from the corner of my eye. He was leaning into the back of his seat,piercing green eyes studying me. I let my eyes roam over his face. His untidy bronze hair,pale skin,jewelled emerald green eyes, pink lips, and hard jaw were all assets that I wouldn't mind mating with. It'd be a shame to let features like that go to waste. Of course I wasn't going to admit that to the whole class.
The corner of Edward's mouth twitched threatening to expose an amused smile, 'Everyone is waiting' he mouthed giving the room full of people expecting my answer a pointed glance.
I looked up at Mr. Banner trying to hide the obvious embarrassment I felt. "I never thought about it before." I lied.
"May I suggest you start thinking?"
"Could you call on someone else while I'm thinking?" I shot back in a bratty tone.
Mr. Banner pointed to my right. I could tell his patients with me was wearing thin. "Mr. Cullen?"
Proving that me and Edward were total opposites he spoke assuredly. He pulled out of his leaning position and had his body inclined towards mine, our knees were practically touching.
"Intellectual. Cute. Vulnerable." He shot off without even slight hesitation.
Mr. Banner was listing the adjectives on the white board. "Why vulnerable?" he asked halting on writing the word in red expo marker.
"Maybe its because he's too weak for a strong girl." quipped Mike Newton.
Edward quickly spun his body so that he was staring directly at Mike.
"Is that so Newton? That's why your always the one bottoming with Jessica hmm?" he retorted smoothly.
Mike slipped down into his seat as the class cackled on his unwilling behalf.
Edward turned back to his previous position seemingly proud of himself.
Alice deciding to speak now said, "What does this have to do with our unit?"
Mr. Banner finished writing vulnerable and turned to her. "All animals on this planet attracts mates with one goal in mind. Reproduction. Peacocks spread their feathers, and penguins wave their flippers calling to attract females. Attraction is the first thing of all animal reproduction, humans included. Why don't you tell us your list, Miss Brandon?"
"That easy." Alice said. "Southern, broody,and fiercely protective."
Every one knew she was talking about Jasper, the kid who sat at the back of the room and talked to no one but his sister Rosalie. Whom he always tried to keep out of harms way. When we all turned to look at him he ducked his head and blushed muttering something that sounded like 'Damn Pixie'. Alice let out a tinkling laugh.
Edward chuckled under his breath. "The complication with human attraction is not knowing whether or not it will be mutual."
"Good point," Mr. Banner agreed.
"Humans are vulnerable," Edward continued, "because they're susceptible to the pain of being rejected. The reason I want a vulnerable girl is so that she knows there will be no rejection when it comes it us." While he said this, Edward knocked his knee against mine. I moved away, refusing to let myself think about what he meant by it.
Mr. Banner nodded. "The complexity of human attraction-and reproduction- is one of the features that set us apart from other species."
I think I heard Edward snort at this, but it was too soft a sound so I couldn't be sure.
I did however hear Alice's frustrated sigh. "Are we getting close to the sex part yet?"
Damn girl was lucky Mr. Banner was cool. She wouldn't be able to talk like that with any other bio teacher.
"Almost," said Mr. Banner, holding up his had to silence her. "Before sex comes attraction,but after attraction comes body language. You must communicate 'I want you' to a possible mate, only not in too many words."
Mr. Banner pointed to Edward again. "All right,Edward. Your at the beach. Its full of girls all different shapes and sizes. Blonds,brunettes,redheads, and some choice ones with black hair. Some are extrovert, while others seem shy. You find the one that fits your profile-intellectual,cute,vulnerable. How can you get her to know your interested?"
"Single her out. Speak to her."
"Excellent. So we're spitting game." The class laughed at Mr. Banner's attempt at talking like a teen.
"Now," he continued "-how do you know if she's interested of if she wants you to get lost?"
"Study her," Edward said. "Decipher her thoughts and feelings. She's not going to out right tell me... unless she's Alice,"
Everyone laughed including Mr. Banner.
"Since she's not going to tell me, I have to pay close attention. Does she move her body toward mine? Does she hold my eyes, then glance away? Does she bite her lip and look at her hands, the way Bella is doing right now?"
Again laughter filled the room. I let go of my lip and looked up.
"She's interested," said Edward, thudding my leg with his own again. I tried in vain not to blush,but of course I was powerless to stop it.
"Excellent! Excellent!" Mr. Banner boomed, smiling widely at our 'cooperativeness'.
"The blood is rising to Bella's face and her skin is heated," Edward said " She knows I'm studying her. She likes the attention but she's unable to figure out what to do with it."
Hey when did this start being about me?
"I am so not blushing!" I lied, attempting to divert the attention on me.
"She's flustered," Edward said ignoring me completely. "She's bouncing her leg to draw my attention away from her face and down to her figure, witch is a powerful selling point." he added lowering his voice an octave.
I tried to retain some shred of dignity by holding my chin high. "This is ridiculous."
Stretching his arm out to his side with embellished smoothness, Edward hung it on the back of my seat. I had a feeling it was a direct threat aimed at me, and he didn't care how the class perceived the gesture. They laughed,but he either pretended not to hear it or really didn't hear it. He held my eyes solely with his own that I almost believed we were in our own little bubble that no one else could burst.
'Vulnerable' he enunciated each letter while mouthing it at me.
I snaked my ankles around the legs of my chair and lurched forward, causing his arm to drop off the back of the chair.
He chuckled quietly.
"And there you have it!" Mr. Banner finished with a flourish.
"Can we please talk about sex now?" asked Alice in an exasperated tone.
"Tomorrow. Read chapters eight through nine on the reproductive parts with your partner tonight. Expect a discussion first thing!" He said as the bell rang.
I turned and stared at Edward and he stared back but with an intensity that scared me. Suddenly he grabbed my hand and scrawled something on it in red ink. I looked down to see seven red numbers looping across my palm. I made a fist around them and debated on what I should say.
At last I said, "I'm busy tonight."
"So am I." he smirked and with that he rose gracefully from his seat before I could formulate a proper response.
"Well he seems friendly," Alice said, coming to my table.
I gave her a look that said 'Shut up or you just might die early.'
"Geez," she said backtracking , "I was only trying to point something out."
"Whatever Alice just take me home."
Me and Alice drove in a companionable silence as she drove me to my house in her flashy yellow Porsche that she'd gotten for her sixteenth birthday. I was trying to figure out whether or not I was going to call Edward so we can read the chapters that was assigned to us but something about Edward Cullen scared me and attracted me at the same time.
I was deep in thought when I felt a thump on my upper arm.
"Ouch!" I said glaring at Alice while simultaneously rubbing my arm.
"What the hell was that for?" I whined.
Alice rolled her eyes. "Your home dumb ass. If you weren't so up in lala land you would have noticed."
Sure enough we were in my small driveway. My rusted red behemoth stood weathered and proud next to us. Compared to Alice's shiny little thing he looked outdated and ugly. Kinda like what Edward must look like next to me.
"Earth to Bella? Get your gloomy little ass out my car."
I snickered."Oh. Okay thanks for driving me home Ali."
"Mmmhmm, anything for you Bells. Just make sure that you tell me what happens at Cullen's house tomorrow."
"I'm not going." I said with conviction as I stepped out of the car.
"Yes you are Bella and don't forget!" she was already pulling out of my drive way and zipping down the street.
I stared after her wondering how she was so sure that I would end up going to Cullen's house. Yea right.
~Later That Night~
'I cant believe I'm doing this.' I thought as I pulled up to a beautiful modern house. It was beautiful enough, actually it was much more than beautiful it was stunning. The thing is its in the middle of the forest in Forks,Washington. I find that a little bit scary. I got out of my truck and climb the steps to the porch. 'I cant believe I'm really doing this.'
If you haven't already guessed who's house this is then lemme give you a clue. His last name rhymes with my mood, Sullen. That's right. Alice was right I was horribly wrong. I did in fact end up going to Cullen's place after all.
How did I get here you ask? Well let me fill you in.
~Flash Back~
I was laying upside down on my bed staring at my palm for 3 hours after Alice left. I had finished all my home work, done all house hold chores, I even started up a dinner for my dad,Charlie. Doing all this had left me with nothing to do so I ended up debating on whether or not I should call Cullen so we could read the chapters Mr. Banner assigned or I could read them by myself and pretend we read it together.
See the problem with that plan was that I didn't want to do it. I actually found myself wanting to call Edward and to go over his house. So I did. I pressed the seven numbers and waited for some one to pick up. After the third ring I was about to hang up when somebody picked up the phone.
"Yo?"
The voice didn't sound like Edward and I wondered if I should answer or not. After a minute of silent debating I did.
"Can I speak to Edward please?"
"Oh yea sure hold up a sec." I waited
"Hey Eddie," the voice suddenly boomed causing me to hold the phone away from my ear. "Some chick wants to talk to you."
I heard a mumbled curse and then a 'Coming!'
"I thought I told you not to call me Eddie Emmett." Edward seethed into the reciever.
"Yea well I obviously didn't listen." the voice replied.
I herd a slap and then a booming laugh that I'd assumed was the man named Emmett.
"Damn it get out of my room Emmett!" Edward yelled.
After a few more scuffling noises I heard a sigh, as if Edward was trying to compose himself and then he spoke.
"Hello?"
"Hi um Edward it's Bella." I muttered.
"Why hello there Bella what can I do for you?" Edward answered condescendingly.
"What's your address?" I blurted quickly, before I lost my nerve.
"My address? My aren't we a bit pushy?"
"Please Edward," I begged. "I just want to get this over with."
He gave in and provided me with the address to his home and said he'd see me there.
~Flash Back Ended~
So here I was standing on the Cullen's porch like an idiot. I made a move to knock when the door opened before my fist hit the wood.
It was Edward who opened the door and he wore a white v-neck and a pair of black form fitting jeans.
"Did you know you were in your car for a full twenty minutes before you decided to stand on the porch for twenty more minutes? That means you wasted about forty minutes of our studying time. Tsk tsk Bella. I thought you were better."
"Did you know that staring at people through your window is considered weird?" I shot back.
Even though I was truly flattered that he looked at me for so long, but why didn't he just open the door and greet me?
"Don't you think its a bit weirder to be standing on someones porch with no intention of knocking for twenty whole minutes?" he asked raising a brow.
I rolled my eyes. "Can I come in?"
"I dunno can you?" he crossed his arms in front of himself.
"Your going to waste more time then I did if you keep fooling around." I pointed out
"True," he consented. "Please come in."
I pushed past him only to be blocked by some one much bigger and much more menacing than Edward. The bear of a man smiled down at me showing his crater deep dimples and I just stared back dumbly because his smile just changed the way I perceived his personality.
"Hi," he said. "My name is Emmett."
I opend my mouth to greet him only to be cut off by a very annoyed Edward.
"Hello Emmett. Goodbye Emmett." Edward said as he grabbed my hand and hauled me to the kitchen.
I looked over my shoulder to see Emmett walking out the door, leaving me and Edward alone. Great
We stood in the marvelous kitchen alone and stared at each other, challenging the other to break the silence.
Edward said, "Its late." His eyes followed mine intently, reflecting an incorrigible gleam."You must be hungry."
"No.I mean,yes,but-"
Suddenly he was in front of me. "How about some Tacos?"
I stepped back. "Tacos?" I asked thrown off by the odd request.
"Tomatoes,lettuce,cheese..." his voice trailed off as he physically moved closer.
I took another step back hitting the counter. "I know what a taco is."
"Okay," Edward said. "You do realize your in my way right?"
I was in fact in his way,but why hadn't he just told me that before blocking me in? He smiled liked the Cheshire cat and I instantly knew the answer to that question. He was playing with me.
His body was now flush against mine. I took a sharp intake of breath. We were toe to toe, my worn converse against his bare feet.
"Scared?" he murmured, his breath wafting across my face stunning me for a moment.
"No." I answered regaining my thoughts. I was of course, lying. I was scared because I was not in control of the situation. He was and he knew it.
"Liar" he pointed out, eerily echoing my own thoughts.
My mouth moved without my consent. "Maybe it's just that I'm scared of-" I cut myself off wondering why I was so stupid. What could I say now without sounding stupid or suspicious?
"Liking me?" he finished.
"Yea.." I said relieved that I wouldn't have to explain myself. Then I realized what I'd just agreed to thinking.
"I mean, no! Definitely not!"
Edward laughed softly. "Really Bella?"
All incoherent thoughts then abandoned my head, and a new thought that took over the recesses of my mind broke through.
I wanted to kiss him. As of right now.
Edward arched a perfect eye brow. "What?"
I'm not completely sure what happened to my sanity at the moment but I really didn't seem to care because I closed the short distance between me and Edward and
kissed him. Hard.
Let me just say one thing. I really don't plan on making this into a story, its only going to be two chapters because I don't want to cram everything into one. I hoped you liked it. Review!
