BPOV (Bella)
He's following behind me right now as I feel my way down the corridor to the studio. My fingers knock frames crooked on the walls and I know it'll bug the crap out of me when the lights come on, but they're not coming on anytime soon; at least I hope…
I can feel his presence on my back, hell, I can feel him everywhere and I am really into the feeling.
Like really into it. The feeling was my new addiction…
In the darkness, my hearing is heightened and I can hear his whispers of words that he means to speak, but won't commit to. He keeps repeating the same words through his mumblings; 'damn' and 'B. Swan' seeming to be the most popular. I am tempted to just turn around and pull him to me by the hairs on the back of his neck. I bet they would feel pretty damn soft, yet stubbly under my fingers. His lips looked deliciously shocked as they formed a giant 'O' on his face when I punched him downstairs and I am dying to feel them against mine. They're swollen from my punch now, they'd probably feel even better at this point.
No. I just met him.
No.
Just because I'm a junior in college with my own radio show does not mean I have the right to jump the hot college bookstore stock boy. It's cliché and overplayed like that damn Rihanna song; it was catchy and I'd sing along when I heard it, but… I think I just blew my own point. Cliché or not, I wanted to go for it all the same. Damn, I wanted to go for it.
I turn too soon, caught in my own internal ramblings, and completely face plant into the side of the wall, catching the right side of my face with the impact. I fall backwards, but not to the ground.
No, I fall into a strong pair of warm, bare arms that I am immediately fond of.
Yes, I do believe I like this place, I just wish the right side of my face was enjoying it as much as the rest of me 'cause damn… that shit hurts. But, the rest of me was damn near tingly…
"My god, are you okay?" Edward gasped as he steadies me so that I'm sitting on the ground while he allows me to lean back onto his crouched frame. He's still supporting most of my body and I really consider playing up the injury for a while just to stay where I am, but then I remember my pride and thank god he can't see my bruised face and the blush from embarrassment as well as if the lights had been on.
I groaned from the pain and embarrassment, but there was a tiny moan there from the feel of him around me as well. "Yeah, I'm not so sure about my brain though…" I murmured.
"I'm sure it's perfect as well," he whispered to himself, but I still heard. I attempted to pull myself to my feet, but he wasn't loosening his grip. "Oh, sorry…" he said once he realized I was pulling away. I giggled a bit, mumbling a 'don't be.'
Damn, I'm such a girl.
I couldn't be sure of the face I saw when I turned to face him, but he nearly looked challenged, like he wanted me to go for it and move with my gut; like he knew what I was thinking because he was thinking the same thing. Believe me when I say, it was damn tempting; way too tempting for my own good.
EPOV (Edward)
Did she see how much control I was losing right now? I might as well been an alcoholic facing his fantasy liquor, or a druggie watching his last hit get taken away… I wanted to push her up against the wall, much rougher than I should want to, I must admit, and kiss the hell out of her.
Copping a feel was definitely a thought that was running through my head as well and it was causing some sway with my decision-making processes.
"Edward…" she whispered, pulling me from my fantasies of her pressed against me moaning for me to continue the enchanting physical assault.
"Yeah – huh?" I gasped, breaking the staring contest we were in.
She took a step closer and I felt myself making fists over and over again at my side just so I wouldn't grab a hold of her. "Um, this storm is… um, making me a bit jumpy, sorry." She looked so… concerned about her words, like they weren't the ones she had meant to say.
I couldn't think of another response over than 'don't be,' and within the few seconds it took her to comprehend my words, she was on me.
And when I say 'on me,' I really mean 'on me.' Her left leg was wrapped around my hip and her right seemed to be trying to accomplish the same on my other side. Her arms gripped my shoulders snuggly. The shear magnificence that her body was so close to mine was nearly overshadowed by the way she was kissing me. Her mouth was anything but closed and I was suddenly very familiar with her tongue, both in feel and taste.
Hot damn!
She gasped for breathe and worked her lips down my neck. I was in shock with the reaction she gave to those two little words and it made me instantly curious what other words would set her off this way. My hands found purchase on her hips, hovering just above the waist of tight ass jeans.
I groaned as she licked my earlobe which seemed to startle her out of her attack because she pulled back quickly. We locked eyes, but I couldn't read her. She slowly, deliciously wriggled off of my body and I could not believe that we could go from tension, to full on making out and groping to the uncomfortable awkward silence we were currently residing in within just a matter of minutes.
She was incredible; she made everything feel incredible, including certain parts of my anatomy.
"Holy shit, I just did that," she whispered in shock, mostly to herself.
I nodded. "Yeah, you did…" I felt my lips quirk up at the memory. She did that; she wanted me.
She laughed once and then slapped my arm, hard. "Wipe the smirk off your face, however sexy it is. I don't even know your last name. I don't even know anything about you!" Her voice rose a few octaves during the last sentence. She ran her fingers through her sexy mane of hair and then turned to march into the station studio while holding her hands out in front of her to make sure she didn't face plant once again. Once inside, the windows lit the area better and our eyes were able to adjust pretty quickly.
I watched her fall onto one of the two couches off to the side. "Damnit, Bella…" she muttered to herself, but I wasn't really paying attention, I was still focusing on the "sexy" comment she just made when referring to my smirk.
I'm never going to stop smirking at her if she thinks it's sexy. Maybe she'd launch herself at me again…
After getting over my own ego, I walked closer and sat down next to her, but kept some space just in case her hand had another impulse to smack the hell out of me. She had a lot of power behind hand, that's for now sure.
She sighed and then let her head tilt, letting it rest on her right hand, while she looked at me. "I don't know anything about you, Edward…" It wasn't just a comment, but a question as well. That much I could tell.
I nodded again and spoke, hoping she would smile when I was done. "My name is Edward Cullen. I have an idiot brother named Emmett who works with me in the bookstore part time downstairs. I'm going to school for sports recreation, but I'm also interested in sport medicine." She smiled a bit so I finished up. "And, I'm a huge fan of 's radio show on the campus station; have you heard of it?"
She blushed, more than I had seen downstairs, and swiped her lips just once with her pink tongue. It was insanely hot. I shifted my leg closer to her own and was relieved when she didn't pull away.
She turned and faced straight ahead. "As a matter of fact, I have…" she murmured. She quickly looked back to me again. "You're flirting with me and using you love of my show as a way to make you more appealing." It wasn't a question, but I nodded anyways.
"And you jumped me in the corridor and kissed the hell outta me." She nodded while I smirked which made her blush, again. "I'd love a repeat performance of that sometime." I said boldly.
She took a deep breath, thinking I assumed. "How about now?" she asked, but I didn't have the chance to answer as she pulled my body half onto hers and we began kissing, again. The only difference was that this time I was more of an active participate versus just being capable of the reactive, shocked stock boy like before.
