Part 2: THE AFTERMATH

BPOV

"Um, Edward, uh, how long… how –" I stuttered out.

"Long enough." Edward snapped back. He kept his eyes on me. I felt self-conscious so I refused to look him in the eyes.

Rosalie chuckled, walking away, shaking her head. She knew the trouble I was in for. But first said, "Oh, by the way, thanks for the compliment Bella." My face turned beat red.

"Boy do I feel the embarrassment coming off of you" Jasper commented. My face continued to look astonished. Meanwhile, Edward was still staring at me.

"Why don't we give them some privacy," Carlisle said while leading everyone out of the room.

Emmett commented, "It's not like we won't hear them. I might as well stay, since I was a part in this. I can contribute to the conversation. I think I'm needed here."

Edward looked at him and gave him a snarl but Emmett didn't budge.

Alice gave me a smile and darted off. Hopefully she saw that things will work out fine.

I wish Emmett would wipe that grin off his face.

"So, Edward, uh, how was your trip?" I cautiously asked.

"Bella, what were you whispering to Emmett in the video?" he calmly asked.

I darted my eyes over to Emmett. I was hoping that he was blocking his thoughts. He just sat there, with his perfect grin.

Shaking my head, "Um, it was nothing. I didn't mean to tell him. I –"

He cut me off. "If it was nothing, then why won't you tell me?" I could tell his feelings were hurt.

"Oh calm down Edward, she was drunk, she didn't mean to tell me. It's nothing you need to worry about. But boy do you have a wild one here." He shook his head, but I was hoping he didn't actually think about it.

"Emmett, you promised! Block your thoughts!" I yelled.

"Don't worry Bells, I've perfected my blocking abilities," he said while laughing.

I put my hands over my face, not knowing what to do next.

"Bella this is killing me, why won't you tell me?"

"Because it is way too embarrassing!" I yelled. "I was stupid enough to tell Emmett and now I'm going to constantly worry if he will ever tell anyone."

I foolishly started to cry again. I was too overwhelmed with pressure and embarrassment.

Emmett saw me and got off the couch saying, "I'm out of here. I can't deal with anymore emotional outbursts from this chick." I couldn't see because I had my hands over my face but I'm guessing Edward gave him a death stare because after I opened my eyes Emmett was gone.

"Edward can we go talk in your room?" I asked calmly.

He picked me up and sat me on his bed.

He sat next to me, staring at me. I let out a loud sigh.

"Bella, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It's just driving me nuts that you told Emmett and not me. Plus I can't see inside your head which is making me even more crazy."

"I know Edward, I'm sorry. I can't believe I said anything to Emmett. He has the biggest mouth ever and he will probably black mail me forever with this. Even if I told you, I still have to worry if he will ever tell anyone else. Plus he has the other secret over my head too." I wish last night never happened.

"What other secret?" he asked.

I hesitated. "The one about the virginity thing."

"Oh right. I was wondering about that myself."

"Yeah, I thought you would. But l can assure you I did not have sex with another boy."

That brought a smile on his face yet I could tell he still wanted to know more. It was silent for a long minute but then I decided I'd start talking.

When I did he seemed relieved. "So, when I was younger, around 13 probably, I did something that no one would expect and I was terrified if anyone would ever find out, especially since I almost got caught… kinda." I took a breath and waited a minute to continue.

I could tell he was anxious, waiting for me to continue. Meanwhile, lying next to each other, I refused to look at him.

"I was home by myself while my mom once again was out with Phil, 'being young.' I, as the abnormal teenager that I was and still am, stayed at home on Friday and Saturday nights. I didn't have many friends. I'm sure that's a surprise to you." I heard him chuckle.

I continued, "So I was bored and started to look at cds to play. I came across a cd that said 'Phil's favorites.' Phil and I have some bands that we both liked so I thought I'd play it and see what songs were on it. I put it in the stereo but it said that it could not read the disc. So I decided to put it on my computer. Well something popped up I was not expecting… All I saw was a guy and girl well… going at it. I got big eyed and was in shock. It was a cross between embarrassment and curiosity." I was beat red at this point and I knew he could tell.

"After I watched for a few minutes I realized that Renee and Phil would probably be home soon. I pushed the eject button but it would not open. I kept pushing it but it still wouldn't open. All of a sudden I heard the front door open. I was panicking. I didn't know what to do. My mom swings my door opened and I slammed my computer screen shut. She gave me a confused look and headed back out. She left my door slightly opened and all I heard her say was, 'I think Bella was, you know, masturbating in there.'"

I took a pause. "Edward, I was so embarrassed I didn't know what to do. Every time I would come out of my bedroom my mom and Phil would give me a look. As if whenever I was in my room alone with the door closed that is of course what I must have been doing. I still can't be in the same room with them without thinking of that horrifying day." I let out a long sigh.

After a long minute I realized something, "Edward!"

"What?" he asked in a response to my shocking tone.

I dug my face in his chest with a slight whimper. "Edward, everyone in the house just heard what I said." I began to let out a light, embarrassing sob. He started to rub my back, knowing I was right.

All we heard next was Emmett yell, "Yeah we did!"

I groaned in Edward's shirt and refused to open my eyes.

After a few minutes I opened my eyes to look at him. I was still so embarrassed. "So that's it. Emmett thought I was 'hot' because I watched porn. And that I continued to watch it for awhile before I shut it off." I still looked at the ground and I let out a chuckle while playing with the hem of his shirt. I was nervous of what he now thought of me.

"Please don't judge me Edward. I –"

"Bella, I would never judge you. So you watched some porn, it's not the end of the world."

"Really, you don't care?" I said with relief.

"I never said I didn't care. I just said that I am not judging you," he said with a half-smile on his face.

"So does that mean you like that I watched the porn?" I was a little confused.

He didn't say anything.

"Mm..." I responded to his silence.

"What?" he asked.

"Oh nothing. It's just your silence… that says a lot."

"Wait, what?" I could tell he was confused.

"You not answering my question... that meant a 'yes'" I said with a little smirk.

He pondered. "Your putting words in my mouth Ms. Swan."

I smiled, "I think it's your lack of words that are doing the talking."

He didn't know what to say. So he changed the subject. I think he was a little embarrassed… for once.

"So, about that other secret of yours…" he mentioned.

"Edward, no, I don't want to talk about that," I said while getting off the bed and walking away from him.

He, with his vampire speed, ran in front of me to stop me from walking.

"Please Bella, tell me. It is driving me nuts that you told Emmett and not me. Besides, it can't possibly beat the… other secret." He smiled, waiting for me to look him in the eyes.

As he said that I heard Emmett let out a big laugh. I wanted to die and not in a vampire way.

"That's where you're wrong. Besides, Edward, it was before I came to Forks. You didn't even know me then."

"But Bella, you said you were a virgin and that you hadn't even kissed a boy before me." I could tell he was confused.

"That's right, I had never kissed a boy before you." I tried to give him hints on what I was saying but he was clueless… for once.

Emmett once again let out a big laugh. I then saw a look on Edward's face as he stared at me. He must have read Emmett's mind. "Damn it Emmett, you said you would block your thoughts!" I yelled. I heard no response and then I knew that now Edward knew.

"Bella, did you… did you kiss a girl?" I wasn't sure if he was turned on or repulsed.

"What if I did? What if I did kiss a girl? What would you think of me?" I was afraid of his response. Would he think I was a whore? Or a lesbian? Or even bi?

"Bella, you kissing a girl don't bother me as much as it would if it were a guy."

I giggled. "Well, we did a little more than kiss…"

It's then I heard Emmett say "Yeah she did!"

I was waiting what Edward would say next. He was speechless. I knew he would want details with this one. I sighed. This was going to be a long night.
