Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight or the characters, Just the plot is mine.

A/N: Hey guys- Sorry I haven't updated! I was really, really trying for 2 chapters this week, but I've been soooooo busy with schoolwork. Private school homework is double the work of a public school! Thanks to all of you who've subscribed to this story; it means a lot to me. This chapter is more mature, some swearing, a little "maturity", you know what I mean. Anyways – let's get on with the chapter!

Chapter 2 – Stunned

Edward POV

I was going to tell her. But stupid me chickened out at the last second, once again. Why? Because I was scared shitless, that's why.

I had to tell her tomorrow; I promised myself I would.

Bella. Just thinking about her made my cheeks burn. The way her soft, brown hair waved around her shoulders, the way she blushed when she was embarrassed. The way she bit her full, pink lip when she was a bit frustrated.

"Bella," I breathed into the darkness, staring at my ceiling.

I could see her face through her window as she tried to concentrate on her novel. Silently, I climbed up the side of her house until I perched on her windowsill. I tapped lightly on the glass.

Bella jumped, and her eyes darted towards her window. I could see her breath a sigh of relief and get up to open her window.

A delicate pink blush tainted her cheeks, and I wanted to sweep her up right then and there and kiss her senseless, make her forget her own name.

But I couldn't do that, not until I knew how she felt about me.

"Hi." Bella said shyly. I swept her into my arms and planted my lips on the top of her head. I inhaled her scent, thinking that maybe this would be the last time I would get to do that.

"Bella, I have to tell you something."

Bella POV

"Bella, I have to tell you something."

Was he going to say what I thought he was? Was he going to proclaim his undying love for me and kiss my lips softly?

I only knew that I loved him, and that no matter what he told me now, that would never change.

"Bella," he began slowly, looking into my eyes. "I love you." My heart skipped a beat.

"I'll never stop loving you, Bella. Will you be mine?"

All I could do was snuggle myself into his arms and whisper into his shirt, "I love you."

He tilted his head down and tipped my face up to his own, and stared me down, his emerald green eyes boring into my own brown ones. He leaned in and gently pressed his lips to my own. We sat like that for a moment, simply lying in each other's arms.

Let's just say that night turned into something "more."

Waking up in Edward's arms was like being brought back down to earth from some great height.

He must have been watching me sleep, because as soon as my eyes fluttered open, he kissed the tip of my nose and winked.

Opening my window silently, he easily slipped outside and onto the siding of the house, wearing nothing but his boxers.

I emitted a quick giggle at the sight, and then went to pull some clothes on over my underwear.

I dressed in a simple white cotton dress and tan leather gladiator sandals. I didn't bother with my hair.

When I walked across the lawn over to the Cullens' house, I saw Jessica, Edward's girlfriend walking up the front steps. Uh-oh. I really hadn't thought of what Edward would say to Jess. She and I were always on good terms; I was sure that this would ruin any friendship we had.

I saw Edward jog out of the house to meet Jessica, sweeping her up in his arms and kissing her full on the mouth.

Um, hello? Do you not realize I exist? What we did last night? That I'm standing almost right in front of you as you give your girlfriend mouth to mouth?

When they broke apart, I waved my arm in greeting. "Hey, Eddie!" I called.

Jess smiled at me, completely oblivious of the tension between Edward and myself.

"Oh, hi Bella," he answered calmly, "Alice is upstairs."

Alice?! Sure, Alice was my best friend, second to Edward, but… Alice?

Alice was Edward's twin sister, and like a sister to me, as well.

"Oh, okay. Thanks!" I put on a fake smile, not wanting to show my hurt.

I practically ran into the house, tripping in a hold on the lawn.

"Hi Bella." A warm, motherly voice called out to me. Esme, Edward's mom, was making pancakes in the kitchen.

I walked over to her and pulled her into a hug. "Hi Esme." I said, trying to put a smile in my voice. I pulled away and waved slightly as I booked it up the stairs.

I went straight to Alice's room and shut the door behind me. I could hear her humming from the bathroom. I flopped onto her bed and waited for her.

"Aliiiiiceeeee…" I grumbled.

"What is it this time, Bella?" she walked out of her bathroom wearing navy short-shorts and a flowy red tank top. I stood up behind her and steered her over to her window that overlooked the front lawn. There, Edward and Jessica were making out passionately.

"That. That, Alice, is what it is this time."

"I don't…" She looked confused. "What? You're just friends…"

I could see realization hit her as her facial expression changed. "Oh, no, Bella! No!"

Curling up into a ball on the edge of her bed, I whimpered. Yes, Alice, I had sex with your brother last night. What the hell was wrong with me?

"Sorry Alice." I mumbled.

"No, no! Don't be apologizing! Edward's being an ass! He, A. shouldn't have slept with you, or B. should be making out with you, instead of Jess over there!"

I sobbed quietly as Alice rubbed soothing circles into my back.

"Oh shit." I realized something big.

"What?" Alice asked.

"No protection."

"Oh my god. Bella, come with me right now." She grabbed me by the wrist and grabbed two pair of oversized black sunglasses before heading out her bedroom door.

"Put these on." Alice instructed. I did as I was told as we walked out of the house and climbed into Alice's yellow Porsche. I had no idea what I was going to do.

So, does that deserve reviews? I worked kinda hard on that one, longest chapter so far! I have something like 5 subscriptions/favorite adds, and ZERO reviews! I can tell that there are more than 5 people who have read this, because not everyone adds stories to their favorites, so could you please do me the small favor of writing a review? I really want to know what you guys think!

Well, well, well. Assy little Edward, huh? What do you guys want to happen? Review or PM me, kay?

Thanks for reading! love you all.
