Chapter 3: The beginning of a player

"Nice hiding spot you got there." Edward said with that glint in his eye. I got up, frowning. I raised my hand and slapped him across the face. MAN, that felt good!
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!?!!?" he yelled.
"For scaring me shitless. And for being an ass about it." I stated.
"Hey, you should of seen yourself. You looked ridiculous."
"Thanks, because that's exactly what a girl wants to hear." I said, anger coloring my voice.
"Nice pajamas." He said, smirking. Oh, great. I was wearing my Spongebob pajama pants and a tank top. My face heated as a blush colored my cheeks red. "Spongebob is a good show!" I said, grabbing one of Alice's white sheets off the ground, and tying it around myself like a toga. I raised my chin up high and stomped out of the room.

Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, and Alice raised their eyebrows as I stomped down the stairs. "Okaaaayyyy...........well, since you guys want to join in on the party so much, we're going to play Truth or Dare." Alice said, eyeing my toga. Oh, crap. I groaned. This will not go well.

"OK, I'll start!" Alice said, jumping up and down."Bella!! Truth or Dare?" I groaned. Well, there was no way I was choosing truth, I know what she would ask........ "Dare." I said confidently. Her face fell, but then a smile flashed across her face. "OKAY! I dare you to go to the drug store and ask a guy how to put on a condom…..and then you need to make a scene when he won't show you." My jaw dropped. Everyone was on the floor, rolling with laughter, clutching their sides. Alice looked smug. But, Edward was the worst. He was the loudest. He was the one practically dying on the ground of laughter. "What's the alternative??" I said, sighing. Alice smiled smugly.

"You would have to go into the closet for 10 minutes with someone of my choosing, of course." Her eyes quickly flashed to Edward, and he shut up. He didn't laugh, or smirk, or look disgusted. He just—stopped. Like you hit the 'off' button. But, honestly, I would rather eat my own foot before that happened. "Get your car." I said automatically.

(A/N: let's pretend the store is open at like….1:00 in the morning. Lol) We drove to the drug store in silence, but there were giggles escaping here and there. We pulled up to the store and walked through the sliding doors and over to the hygiene department. Alice pointed to a teenager working at the store. Great. He had greasy brown hair and glasses, and I guess you could call him nerdy. I grabbed a package of condoms and walked over to him, looking back at my laughing friends. Traitors.

"Excuse me? I was wondering if you could show me how to use one of these!" I said, shoving the condom package in his face. His eyes widened, and as he looked from the condom, to me, he blushed. I did NOT want to know what was going through his head right now…..

"Uhhh, I don't think—" I cut him off, screaming at the top of my lungs.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!? I AM THE CUSTOMER AND I NEED HELP! I ASKED YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE!" everyone was laughing hysterically behind me.
"Mam, I can't exactly show you—" by now people in the store were staring.
"SO YOU ARE REFUSING TO HELP THE CUTOMER?!! I ASKED IF YOU'D SHOW ME HOW TO USE THIS!!"
"I CAN'T show you!!" he said.
"WHY NOT?!!?!"
"Because—I just CAN'T!" that was when I turned around and stormed off. "MANAGER!! MANAGERRRRR!" I yelled around in the store. A man walked up to me. "Is there something I can help you with, Mam?"
"YEA! I ASKED THAT GUY TO SHOW ME HOW TO USE THIS AND HE REFUSED TO HELP ME!!" I shoved the package of condoms in his face. Bewilderment crossed his face. "I'm sorry Mam, we can't help you. We are going to have to ask you to leave." He said, and then walked off. Some boy around my age walked up to me.

"Hey, babe, I can show you how to use these......" he said, winking. Then I felt a strong arm around my waist. I looked up to see Edward, with a furious expression on his face, staring at the boy. "That's ok, she's got someone." He said and then we walked out of the store. Once we were out of site, I jumped away from Edward's arm. "uhh…..thanks." I muttered, scratching the back of my head, avoiding eye contact with him. We got back into the car, where everyone was laughing uncontrollably except Edward and I.

When we got back into the house, I turned to Emmett. "Truth or Dare??" I asked, but I already knew he would choose—
"DARE!" he said, smiling. A smile crossed my face.
"Emmett, go dress up in clothes you wore yesterday and show Alice." I said, smiling smugly. A blank look crossed Alice's face, and she looked like she would faint if she could. Emmett got up with a pained expression and walked upstairs. A minute later he walked back down the stairs and stood in front of Alice. She snapped out of her haze and started yelling at Emmett, and mumbling incoherently about how she needed to fix his "Wardrobe meltdown" and then dragged him upstairs, him screaming the whole way. When they came back down, Emmett was dressed "properly" and was trying desperately to wipe make up off his face. Edward, Jasper, and I were in hysterics.

Emmett glared at me. I knew he wanted to get me back desperately, but he couldn't pick me, because I had just picked him. Then a wicked grin played across his face. He turned to Edward. "Edward, Truth or Dare??"
"Dare." Edward replied.
"I dare you to go into the closet with Bella for 10 minutes." I instantly stopped laughing, and glared furiously at Emmett, who had a smug look on his face. I couldn't read Edward's expression. We reluctantly got up and walked into the closet.

I walked to the far side of the closet while Edward stayed by the door. I glared at him. "This is your fault."
"What? Why?! Most girls would be happy to be in here with me......" he said.
"Why do you have to be such a player? You can never just be with ONE girl! ONE! IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!! Besides, I don't even know why they all love you so much!!" I screamed at him. He walked over to me, so our faces were 2 inches apart. "Would you like to find out??" he whispered, his sweet breath fanning across my face. What did he mean? But before I could say anything, he crushed his lips to mine.

It felt like my skin was on fire, and fireworks inside of me were exploding. I lost all control I had over myself. He had a sort of authority, like he knew what he was doing. His tongue traced the outside of my lips, asking for entrance. Our lips parted and I could taste his cool breath in my mouth as our tongues danced around in intricate patterns. I jumped on him, my legs straddling his waist and he staggered around, and ended up with my back leaning on the door. My fingers were tangled in his hair and he moaned into my mouth. We broke away and I was gasping for air. But he didn't stop kissing me. His lips trailed along my jaw and down my neck. I moaned as he bit at my neck and kissed my skin. Reluctantly, a sigh slipped from my mouth, and he brought his lips back to mine.

That's when the door swung open, "OK! TIME'S U—" and I fell out of the closet onto the ground. Alice stood there, shock all over her face as Edward stood, staring from me, to Alice, to every face in the room.

Emmett had the most smug look on his face. Jasper looked disgusted. Rosalie's eyes were the size of saucers and now Alice was smiling happily. But, I must say, my expression must of looked the worst. My jaw was open, my eyes larger than Rosalie's, as I scrambled to the ground, putting as much distance between Edward and I as possible. What had just happened? No, I don't like Edward! What was I thinking in the closet? Oh, yea. I had become completely incoherent. Edward had a smug look on his face. He had played me, and he won. He had achieved what he wanted. That teasing glint was in his eye. He didn't even care that he had kissed me. It was all a trick.

A felt a tear escape down my cheek. "I HATE YOU!!!" I screamed and ran up the stairs into Alice's room crying. Why had I done that?? I hate him with all my heart. That kiss—I thought it was amazing, and I don't know why. Because there is one thing I know for a fact: That I hate Edward Cullen.

Five minutes later there was a soft knock on the door. The door cracked open.

"Can I come in??" Alice asked in a tiny voice.

Edward's POV:

I've never felt anything so amazing as Bella's kiss. Her warm body pressing to mine, her fingers tangled in my hair—

My heart broke as a tear slid down her cheek. She had a look of horror on her face. "I HATE YOU!!!" she screamed and ran up the stairs crying. I heard a door slam and I collapsed onto the couch, putting my face in my hands. What had I done? Bella hates me even more. I've never heard her say that with so much venom in her voice before. Usually whenever she says she hates me, it's just a playful thing. She thinks I kissed her to make fun of her.

I heard Alice run up the stairs, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up at Jasper who had a sympathetic expression on his face. No one ever knew I loved Bella. Not even my own family. Now, they all know, except Bella, who thinks I hate her. But, worse, she hates me.

She hates me.

Bella's POV:

"Of course, you idiot. It's your room." A humorless laugh escaped my lips as she came and sat down on the bed cross-legged in front of me.

"Bella, what's wrong??" Alice asked, sadness in her voice.
"Your stupid, idiotic, moronic, asswaffle of a brother. That's what's wrong." I said, glaring at the sheets.
"What happened??"
"He kissed me. And he did it just to prove to me that all the girls love him. Just to prove to me—that he wins." I said reluctantly. She sighed.
"Bella, I can't say anything about Edward's feelings. I'm not him and I don't think it wouldn't be right to talk about how HE feels. But I know that all of this is stupid. What is it with you guys? I mean, ever since kindergarten you've been acting this way. Trying to one-up each other at some……imaginary—competition—that doesn't even exist! It needs to end. Why can't you guys be friends??"

I thought about this for a moment. Could Edward and I be friends? Could we actually go to the movies and not be arguing through the whole thing about stupid stuff that we knew didn't matter to either of us??

-Flashback 1st grade-

Alice, Edward, and I were playing Candy Land. Edward and I were almost at the end, when it was his turn. He pulled a card from the deck, but I noticed that he pulled two cards. "YES!" he yelled, moving his person to the end and winning. "HEY! YOU CHEATED!" I yelled at him.

"And........how exactly did I cheat??" he asked, a smirk on his face and that teasing glint in his eye. "I saw you take 2 cards!!" I said.

"Sure. Whatever you say, Swan." We were playing Candy Land in order to choose who got to play with the jump rope. This girl that hung out with Edward said she had wanted it, and then Alice and I had wanted it. So, naturally, Edward challenged us to Candy Land.

"Come on, Jessica." He said, taking her hand, and the jump rope. They walked off and started jumping rope together, leaving Alice and I sitting there.

-End Flashback-

The answer was simple. No. No, we could not.
