Thanks heaps to everyone who reviewed!! It helped get this chapter up now… xD
As we pulled up to my Apartment, I had just finished telling Edward about my parents. I had to admit, he was a great listener. I smiled to myself at that. Finding a guy who listened was of high importance to me. Wait. Hold on a second. Edward is my professor. My mentor. Not my boyfriend. Will never ever be my boyfriend. What was wrong with me?
"Would you tell me what you're thinking?" he smiled, dazzling me again.
"Nothing," I smiled.
"You know, in the short time that I've known you, I've realised three things," he started.
"And…" I said, urging him to continue. What did he think of me?
"One is that you have a love; an adoration of every person close to you. You are the sort of person who's world could be crashing down at your feet, and you will still be sympathetic toward a colleague you barely speak to. Two, is that you're very bad at lying," I blushed.
"And three?" I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me.
"Three is that you are beautiful," he paused, and I opened my mouth to protest, but he cut me off before I could. "But you don't see it, do you?" I shook my head. "Why is that?" he asked sincerely.
"I'm just a small town girl. My eyes are dull and brown, my hair is lifeless and plain. My skin is sickly pale and I'm just all over, ordinary," I told him truthfully. He shook his head in disbelief.
"You are beautiful," he barely whispered, his hot breath sending goose bumps through my body.
"Don't you think this is a little…inappropriate, Professor?" I asked, completely against my will. But I didn't want things to go too far. I didn't want him to regret anything.
"You know, I'm not your professor until Monday," he told me. I shivered involuntarily. I realised that my body had automatically leaned closer to him. Our lips were only inches apart now. I parted my lips in anticipation. My half closed eyes stared into his perfect emerald orbs. I pulled away slightly. I wanted to kiss those perfect lips with every fibre of my being, but the more logical part of my brain reminded me that in just 36 hours, this would be against the rules. Before I could ponder this anymore, Edward's lips lightly brushed against mine. My breath caught and I had to remind myself to breath before I fainted from lack of oxygen. Not to mention ruining this perfect moment in the mean time. Edward must have seen my surprise as hesitation, because guilt flashed across his face.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry Bell-" he was cut short of his unnecessary, completely illogical apologies when I got a burst of confidence and crashed my lips to his with all the force I could possibly muster. He immediately kissed me back, and the world disappeared. It was just me and him, him and I in this too good to be true moment. I felt him run his tongue along my lower lip, begging for entrance. I obliged immediately. I felt his tongue as he gently and slowly explored the inside of my mouth, his tongue discovering every small millimetre. I involuntarily let out a low moan, before taking his bottom lip into my mouth and sucking on it as seductively as I could manage. I nibbled on it a little, before my tongue explored the inside crevasses of his perfect mouth. In that moment, I knew it felt like home. All to soon, I felt my head begin to spin. I was in desperate need of oxygen. Edward pulled away first, breaking the single most amazing kiss I had ever experienced. I gasped as much oxygen as I could into my aching lungs, while my mind tried to recover. As soon as I was sure I could manage to get myself out of the car, and up the 7 steps to the front door of my apartment, that's exactly what I did. I didn't dare turn back to the world's most perfect man whom I had just kissed. I rushed to the elevator and hit the up button. I needed alice. And I needed her now!

"Bella?" Alice's worried voice called through my dark apartment.
"In here, Alice," I called to her from my bedroom. Less than a second later, Alice had barged into my room. I swear she moved at superhero speed when she wanted to.
"What's up?" she asked, her worried tone relaxing only a little when she saw I was safe.
"Umm…" I mumbled, trying to avoid eye contact with the pixie.
"Bella," she warned me. "Spill it! You interrupted Jasper and I -"
"Okay. Stop there," as happy as I was that they had finally got together, I did not want to know what they were doing.
"Well?" she tapped her foot impatiently while her hands rested threateningly on her small hips.
"I met my professor," I stated dumbly.
"Yes. That was the point of the evening, Bella," she told me like I was a small child.
"He drove me home tonight," I continued, but paused again.
"Uh huh," she said, still waiting for me to continue.
"And then we…kissed," I muttered. This got her attention.
"You what?!" she demanded.
"We kissed," I said, a little stronger this time.
"And why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Because, if you haven't already noticed, he is my professor."
"And?" clearly she did not get what I was saying.
"Alice. It's against the rules. Plus he's my mentor. I can't get romantically involved. You remember the oath I made myself, don't you?"
"Well, yeah," she said. "But -"
"No, Alice. It's not going to happen. So whatever you're thinking about plotting isn't going to work."
"Well, in that case, can you share the details. I mean…what does he look like?"
I fidgeted nervously before answering her. "He's tall, handsome and hot as hell."
"What was kissing him like?"
"Only the single most amazing thing I have ever experienced," I told her honestly. That seemed to make her smile even more, if that was at all possible. Alice loved it when we talked girl, because most of the time I just shut her off before she asked any questions that I didn't want to answer. We went on like that for another few hours, before Alice got a message from Jasper and she had to go.
"Have fun," I smiled and waved.
"Oh, I will," she said, rasing her eyebrows suggestively.
"Bad, bad images, Alice!" I yelled at her before I heard my door click shut.

Sunday passed without any major changes to my life. I just kept replaying the way Edward's lips felt against mine, and the way his tongue caressed the inside of my mouth like it was about to shatter if he was any rougher. My lips still tingled from his touch, and my mind was racing at the implications of the kiss. I knew it wasn't allowed and I knew that we couldn't be anything, but still, I wondered what it meant. All too soon, I was thinking of myself in an apron, two gorgeous children with amazing green eyes calling 'mummy', and a sex-god husband named Edward. Moments later I was questioning my sanity. The rest of my Sunday went the same as that, and finally it was Monday morning. My first day at college. My first day of Edward - Professor Cullen - as my mentor.
Hey guys. I hoped you like this update. It didn't go as I originally planned, but after asking a few friends of there opinion, I went with the winning option. The winner was that Edward and Bella kissed. I was going to wait until later on, but thought better of it. This way the kiss they shared will drive them both insane for more. *evil laugh* lol…anyway…Please please please review. I don't care what about I just love getting them! I literally go on my review page like 10 times a day to see if I have got anymore reviews and I always get really excited when there's more. xD… also, reviews make inspiration. Generally, the more reviews I get, the longer the chapters and the quicker the updates…so…REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! Please?! xD
Xoxo
Keet =)
