When my alarmed beeped the next morning at seven I grabbed it and slammed it against the wall but the crash woke me up even more. After a few seconds I opened my eyes and the memories of hours ago came to my head. Had all that really happened?

Yes, it had. I confirmed it when I stood up and I had the same clothes. Edward said he would pick me up at eight thirty because he wanted to sleep a little more and so did I. Now that I was awake I went to the kitchen and made myself a coffee and it reminded me more of yesterday, or had it been a couple of hours ago?

By eight fifteen I was ready to go, so I sat down and watched Tv for a while. He told me to dress like I normally did that no special clothes were needed for what we were doing so I put some jeans, a blue long sleeved shirt, a coat(because it was colder today) and of course a matching hat.

I was watching the news when the speaker beeped and Jerry spoke (the security guard from the building I live in).

"Bella?" I stood up and pressed the button.

"Yes?"

"There's a young man here at the lobby waiting for you, his name is Edward Cullen"

"I'll be right down, thank you"

When I opened the door at the end of the stairs I saw Edward standing in front of the elevators and I laughed.

"I don't like to use those, they make me nauseous, and like I said, I like to walk," he turned my way and chuckled.

"I suppose I should've known," it was still weird to see him smile so much it was like a new him but I liked it.

I turned to Jerry. "Would you mind telling Ms. Patterson I will go get spikes at around nine?"

"No problem Bella, you have a good day," he said.

"Thanks" I said smiling. Then we walked to Edward's mustang and I waited until we were in and he was driving.

"So, are you going to tell me where we're going?" I asked. He smiled crookedly and shook his head.

"It's a surprise," he said.

"I love surprises,"

"Good," he said simply. To be honest, I felt a little weir in his car this early in the morning and both of smiling. It was like a date, and though I don't stress over things I felt anxious because whether he realized it or not, he was the first guy I've dated.

God, I miss him. I pulled my necklace from under my shirt. The one he'd given me before he left. I liked to feel it because it felt like he was near and I had already forgiven him. I'd taken care of it because it was worth so much to me.

Edward looked at me from the corner of his eye and I saw his expression change. His smile vanished and his eyes went wide.

"Is something wrong?" I asked him. He took a breath, we were parking outside of a building but I didn't bother to check what it was because I was looking at him. He turned off the engine, closed his eyes for a second then turned to me slowly.

He smiled deliberately. "I think I have one question left." He said quietly.

"Yes, you do. You'd better think hard about what you want to ask because after that one, I don't have to answer any other questions." I said smiling.

He took a second, looked down and back up at me, licked his lips and took a small unsteady breath. "What was the name of your first boyfriend?"

I bit my lip. It was a weird question for him to ask me but I answered anyway. "That's the curious thing, you remind me of him, but he wasn't French. His name was or is Edward Anthony Mason," I closed my eyes and leaned on the seat and when I opened them I saw his were closed too. I looked at him curiously and was about to ask him what was wrong and he interrupted.

"Alright, well, lets go show you what we will be doing then," he said with a sudden excitement; I laughed and as he got out I opened the door and stepped out too. He got to my side and shook his head in disappointment.

"Not used to guys who open the door for you?"

I smiled. "I don't have to answer any more questions if I don't desire." He looked at me for a second, as if appraising my face and I stood where I was then unexpectedly he took my hand and pulled me with him as he started walking. I just walked along with him, not minding his warm hand at all. It felt so good on mine, like it was meant to be there. We walked in the building and I realized I had forgotten to look at the name, or anything in particular but oh well I liked risks right?

A man in a black suit came toward us "Welcome to-"

"Thank you," Edward said interrupting him. The man seemed to understand the reason for the interruption and smiled at both of us.

"What area would you like to use?" he asked Edward and he smiled at him knowingly.

"The biggest one you have available please" I just stared at him because I had no idea what was going on and it was fun.

"You are lucky today, our biggest area is available, follow me" Edward turned and gave me a crooked smile and a light squeeze in my hand. The man led us through white hallways to a door and stopped there.

"I know how to use the equipment and where it's located, thank you" he said politely to the man. He smiled once again and nodded then left.

I turned to look at Edward. "Are you going to tell me what this is about before you throw me in there?" I pointed at the door next to us.

"Not until after I get us the equipment which is right here," he turned to the wall in front of us and I didn't see anything. Then he pushed on it and a compartment opened revealing some strange looking guns; I just stared at them.

"This is our equipment; laser guns." He said with a grin. "We will be messing with them in there." He pointed at the door.

"And what is in there?" I asked.

"You'll see," he took the guns then placed them back down. "Oh I almost forgot," he opened another compartment and took out two white suits, sort of like what you see the astronauts on TV wear. Except it didn't have a lot of buttons and lights; they were just white.

"Here, put this on top of your clothes." He started to put his on so I did the same. Once we were both ready he took the guns and gave me one.

"Are we supposed to shoot each other?" I asked him, he laughed.

"Something like that." Then just like that, he opened the door and all I saw was a white wall in front of me and a hallway that led left and one that led right, each hallway had a white bar on the middle.

"What am I supposed to do?" I asked him.

"You're supposed to take one of these hallways and make your way through the maze. This whole room is a maze of white walls, if we see each other we have to shoot with our laser guns. You have to try not to let me see you and when someone makes it to the center they press the red button on the middle and the walls will go down and the other player will be revealed with red lights on its suit from where it got shot. If he/she doesn't have any red lights and they shoot you, they win and it doesn't matter if you were the one who made to the center. Get it?" I nodded excitingly.

"How long does it usually take to make it to the center?" He smiled evilly.

"It could take from ten minutes to an hour, and then if no one makes it the walls go down on their own and the person with the fewer red lights on their suit wins." He gave me a second to get everything in my head.

"Ready?" he asked, and I nodded. He pressed on the wall in front of us and the lights dimed and the white bars from each hallway were pulled ito the wall. "Don't hit a dead end" I heard Edward say as he walked through the left hallway so I laughed and took the right.

Who would've thought Edward liked to do this kind of stuff? It was sort of like hide-and-seek in a modern way, but with the maze and laser guns added to it. I made my way through the white halls and came to a dead end. I turned around and took a different path then I saw something white move and back away and hid behind a wall.

I peeked and sure enough Edward was making his way through the hall I was about to step into with his laser gun up..i took my chance since there was another hallway I hadn't taken right in front of me and I shot him on the back. The light stayed for a minute then disappeared and he didn't seem to notice it.

So, we wouldn't feel the laser or sensors if we got shot? So I could've been shot already? What a cheater he was, he didn't tell me I wouldn't feel the laser shot! Oh well, at least he already had one, and no matter how many I had I would win because I would make it to the center and he would have at least one red light.

I made my way through the hall, not sure of how long we had been in there for. It seemed like about thirty minutes and as I kept going I saw Edward again but this time he saw me too. He gave me a crooked smile and I saw him raise his gun and shoot, I raised mine as he ran the other direction and manage to get him on the leg. I smiled in accomplishment and kept going.

I turned right, then left and right again then I saw it. The red button in the center. I laughed out loud and ran to it and pressed it. The walls went down and I saw Edward behind the wall right next to me, he had almost made it. He saw me them and shot me straight on the chest. I just laughed because even if he shot me now he wouldn't win because I had shot him too.

He saw me laugh and looked down at his body, he had a red light on his chest, the one I'd hit him from the back and another two on his leg, one on the front and one on the back. He groaned and then started laughing.

"When did this happen?" he asked me poiting at the red light on his chest.

"How long have we been here?"

He looked at his clock. "Forty five minutes,"

"Then it happened around thirty minutes ago." I said with a smile. "And you didn't tell me we wouldn't feel a thing when we got shot. I was actually expecting it you know" he smiled innocently.

"Look at your own body," as he said it I looked down and saw only one light on my chest but it was big.

"You just shot me once?" I asked surprised.

He laughed. "Of course not, remember I shot you once in there and once right now, but I shot you on the exact same spot so the laight just got bigger." I gawked at him.

"That's weird, but it doesn't matter anyways because I got to the center and you have two lights on your suit, or should I say four?"

"Only two count because the other is the reflexion." He protested and walked towards me. He stopped his face three inches away from mine and looked at me in the eyes.

"You look beautiful with that triumphant look on your face," he stated and I swallowed. He was two inches away from my face now and his right hand was on my left cheek. He leaned down to close the distance and I didn't move away. I let him because it was time to move on, it was time to have my first real kiss. When his lips met mine I had a strange feeling, and he kissed me like if it was something we did often.

The kiss was slow and very sweet, with his hand on my cheek and the other on my waist. I had my hands on his hair. Ii don't know how long we were like that, but when we pulled back he pressed his forehead on mine and I could feel his warm unsteady breath on my face. I opened my eyes and saw a smile on his lips.

"How about a rematch?" he asked still smiling.

I laughed. "You like loosing don't you?"
