Kiss you on your rosey lips and never let you off me.

Shiver on your roof and see your face lit by starlight,

Hold you through the night and watch that Colorado sunrise.

Colorado Sunrise, 3OH!3


Bella pov

" Bella!" Alice cried, running up the sidewalk. Edward walked ahead and went inside without saying a word.

Esme, their mother opened the door. "Oh, so you're Bella," she said, standing aside to let me in. "Come on in."

"Um… thanks," I mumbled.

"Alice has told us a lot about you." She smiled fondly.

"Thank you Mrs Cullen for letting me stay."

"Oh, please call me Esme!"

I nodded nervously and looked around the hallway. It was beautiful; earth tone colors with photos of her kids hung from the walls. I wondered briefly where Edward was.

"You have a lovely home," I complimented, smiling slightly at a photo just in front of me. In the photo were her three children; Edward, Emmett,Alice and her and . Alice hadn't changed much. I tore my eyes from the photo, someone else was walking into the room.

"Ah," a new voice said. "Isabella, I see you finally made it to my home."

I turned to see the doctor with blonde hair who it seams, i see quite frequently coming toward me with his hand extended.

"Bella," I corrected, shaking his hand.

"I'm Carlisle as you know," he said and then looked upstairs. "Edward's up there somewhere. I understand you've come to do this project with him?"

"Um… yeah."

"I'll get your bags with you and show you round," Alice offered.

"Okay," I accepted and Alice grabbed my hand. I didn't really need the help as I only had two bags, but having someone there to talk to was nice.

"Do you know what sorts of things you have to do in this project?" Alice asked.

"No,I have no idea."

Alice laughed, the sound like pealing bells. "At least you don't have to actually kiss or anything."

That made me wish that was true. But me, Bella Swan kiss someone like Edward Cullen? Gahh what a unlikely dream.

Alice led me up the cherry wood stair case, she pointed out the bathroom and the many rooms on the way to Edward's. Why did we have to do such a stupid project anyway? Why was I complying?

"…and this is the best room in the house; my bedroom." Alice turned to grin at me, and I smiled back nervously. Her room was painted teal with spots of chocolate detailing here or there.

"Sure it is Alice." I turned round to see Edward stood behind me, grinning mockingly. He extended a hand to me. "Partner," he greeted trying to say it with a Southern accent. I stared at his hand. Not wanting to look stupid I I shook his hand, I didn't want to let go off it.

"Um Hi." I still hadn't fully realized Edward was my partner not someone like Mike Newton, who I usually got stuck with. He, Mike Newton was a filthy pig needing a slap back to reality.

"So I got Stephen back in my room,laying down um you want to get started?"

"Sure," I answered. "might as well." Edward turned around and lead me down the long hallway to his room. It was much different from Alice's, the room was painted egg plant purple. His bed sat in the far right corner, book shelves lined the left side of his room. I saw books about vampires to books on shake spear and nature books. Who knew he read so many different kinds of books. Edward must of saw me stairing at them because he asked "What's your favorite book?".

"Well that's hard to answer but I would have to say Wuthering heights. You know the book?"

"Oh sure, didn't like it much though. Catherine is really the source of all the trouble, not Heathcliff."

I laughed and shook my head, " It's a classic Edward, appreciate them."

"Who said I didn't" He joked back.

"Your son Stephan would hate to hear your opinion on Catherine. She really isn't that bad of a person you make her out to be you know?"

Edward walked over and picked up the simulator baby off his bed, where it was sleeping. Quietly he walked back over to where I was standing.

"Oh really? I think he would agree with me all the way."

"Edward!" Esme called from down stairs.

"Yes mom?"

"Tanya is on the phone!" Oh great I thought. Tanya was the one person who picked on me the most. The one person that had every guy wrapped around her little finger. The only chance I had of dating Edward, which was slim went right out the window the second Esme said her name.

"Mom..."

"Yes Edward?"

"Tell Tanya that-"
