We were alone in Charlie's kitchen and Charlie was at Billy's tonight. Bella was staring blankly out the window with a huge grin spread across her face. She had seemed distracted the whole day. It made me uncomfortable and anxious to see my Bella that way. So today I decided I was going to sit down and talk to her one on one.
"Bella, love, can we talk for a moment?" I asked as calmly as I could manage.
"Oh, er, of course, Edward." She had jumped then blushed and said this as if she had no idea I was here before I spoke. This worried me because she always seemed to be very aware of me.
"Bella, you seem to be a little… out of it today. Is something wrong?" I said trying very hard not to make her feel self-conscious, which she usually did.
"No. Nothing's wrong. I am just trying to figure out a few things in my head. That's all." She said coolly. This seemed to be a bad sign because most of her problems she discussed out loud with me.
"Am I allowed to know what you are trying so very hard to figure out in your head?" I tried me hardest to stay calm. It was just so frustrating at moments like these when I – more than anything – wanted to hear what she was think. It made me feel almost… disabled.
"I, um, was… thinking about college!" She tried to convince me. But I wasn't convinced. This was obviously bad. I wasn't going to push this, though. She'll tell me what it is that's bothering her when she is ready. I tried lamely to reassure myself.
"Oh," was all I said because, honestly, I did not know what else to say. And she stared blankly, again.

"I, um, was… thinking about college!" My brilliant excuse.
"Oh," He said.
I immediately knew that he did not by the whole 'college' thing. I felt bad because - as hard as he tried not to – he looked very concerned. But I was just not about to tell Edward about all the super-sappy romance I felt for him until I figured out how to make him interpret it as passion. The last thing I want is for Edward to think I only feel something equivalent to a child-like crush for him! And I was planning to passionately tell him how I felt about him tonight in… well, I don't know, my bedroom, maybe.
