Chapter 4
'Edward, you can't do that, it's stealing!' I exclaimed as Edward walked towards the food counter outside the cinema.
'Bella, it's not stealing, I'm gonna pay for it' he replied over his shoulder.
'Oh, alright'
Edward grabbed a bag of popcorn from the little stand and left some money on the counter near the till.
Then he walked over to me, falling back into the sofa, reclaiming his seat next to me. He opened the bag of popcorn, grabbed a handful and shoved it into his mouth.
'Oh, I'm so hungry' he said with his mouth full.
'Edward, it's rude to talk with your mouth full you know' I informed him.
'Shut up' he said jokingly, and threw a bit of popcorn at me.
'Hey!' I said as the bit of popcorn hit my arm. I jumped up and quickly grabbed the bag from him, leaving a face of confusion on Edward as he looked at his empty hands where his food had just been.
He quickly looked up at me and grinned.
'Aw come on Bella, I'm hungry' he said as he put on his best puppy dog face and pouted.
I shook my head. 'I'm sorry Edward, you have to face the consequences of your actions' I said as I reached into the bag and took as much popcorn in my hand as I could.
'You wouldn't!' he challenged.
'Wouldn't I?' I raised my hand and smirked at him.
I threw my hand forward, sending the popcorn inside flying towards Edward.
The popcorn hit him in a few different places, one bit hit him in the forehead followed by a couple hitting his cheek, another hit his shoulder, some flew right over his head, and some landed in his lap.
He looked up at me shocked, and then smirked.
'Oh, it's on!' he exclaimed as he leapt from where he was sitting towards me.
I quickly turned and started to run from him, but I wasn't quick enough. He grabbed me around the waist from behind and picked me up. He then threw me swiftly over his shoulder, so I was upside down facing his back.
'Edward!' I shouted breathlessly because I was laughing so much. 'Put me down!' I demanded.
'You'll have to say sorry first'
'What! You started it' I argued.
'Alright, fair enough, how about we make a deal'
'What sort of deal' I asked cautiously
'I'll put you down if you sit with me at lunch on Monday'
'Erm, ok then' I replied
'Great!' He said as he placed me down in front of him. He looked at me for a minute and then turned towards the sofa. He brushed away the few bits of popcorn that were sitting there and sat down, patting the space next to him, motioning me to join him.
I sat down and I felt Edward shuffle a little close to me.
'So, Bella' I turned to look at him. 'Can I ask you something?'
I smiled. 'Shoot' I answered simply
'Do you have a boyfriend' He said as he blushed slightly and looked away quickly before looking back into my eyes.
I laughed. 'No, I don't' and I couldn't help but ask: 'Why?'
He looked a little relieved.
'Oh, it's just you seem like the sort of girl who has a boyfriend'
'Why do you say that' I asked intrigued.
'Because, well, because…' He struggled with his words, he took a deep breathe and started again. 'Because you're beautiful Bella' he whispered and looked away.
I laughed. I was hardly beautiful compared to him.
'What?' he asked his face confused.
'Oh, it's just, well I hardly think I'm beautiful' I said.
'Trust me Bella, you are' he smiled and I felt my cheeks reddening.
'So, Edward how about you, do you have a girlfriend?' I asked, trying to take the attention away from me.
I already knew that the answer would be no, everyone knew that Edward never dated anyone. Nearly all the girls in the school had asked him out and he'd always said no.
'Nope I don't' he said casually. Then repeated what I'd asked him. 'Why?' he grinned.
I shrugged. 'Well, you must know that nearly every girl in school has a crush on you, I just wondered if anyone had caught your eye yet'
'Well actually there is this one girl' he said.
'Oh, who is she?' I asked trying to hide my disappointment.
'I'm not sure if you know her' he explained.
'Well tell me about her' I urged although I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear more.
'Well, she's really cool and she makes me laugh…a lot!' he smiled and then carried on. 'Lately I've been really thinking about her a lot and I keep trying to make excuses to see and talk to her, I just cant seem to get her out of my head'
I couldn't believe I was going to say this.
'Well maybe you should tell her how you feel' I looked at him and smiled halfheartedly.
He looked back at me and blushed a little.
'I just did' he admitted, looking at his shoes.
What! Edward just admitted to liking…me!
I just stared at him in shock. After about two minutes Edward gently shook me and asked if I was alright.
'Errr…I…' I couldn't get any words out, what was wrong with me, Edward just admitted to liking me and I was just sitting there ignoring him. Talk Bella!
'You like me?' I asked
'Yeah, I do, a lot, but I completely understand if you don't feel the same way I mean…' He started rambling, so I cut him off.
'Edward, will you just listen to me please'
He stopped talking and looked at me with his eyebrows raised. I smiled at him.
'Edward, I like you too' I said simply.
'You do?' he asked a smile creeping onto his face.
'Yeah' I shrugged.
'Well, erm, that's good' he said.
'Yeah'
We sat there for a few minutes then we both burst out laughing.
'So, Bella I guess I should ask you' he said suddenly grabbing my hand and interlocking my fingers with his, which made me smile.
'Ask me what?' I asked a little confused.
'To be my girlfriend?'
'Oh'
'Will you be?' he asked
'Well, I don't know, I'm going to have to think about it' I said jokingly.
When he looked shocked, I rolled my eyes and quickly added:
'Of course I will Edward; I'd love to be your girlfriend'
He looked at me and grinned and then suddenly looked away blushing.
'Bella, I want to tell you something' he said suddenly.
'Go ahead' I replied grinning.
'Well, I've never had a girlfriend, and I'm not really sure what to do' he admitted.
'Same' I replied. 'But just be yourself Edward; just do what feels right'
'Right, ok, well then Bella?'
'Yeah Edward?'
'Can I kiss you?' he asked sheepishly.
I laughed and nodded simply.
He brought his free hand up to my cheek and stroked it lightly with the back of his hand. He took a deep breathe and smiled at me. Then he started to lean towards me his lips parting slightly.
I could feel his breathe on my face as he edged closer. I took a breathe and closed my eyes.
Then finally his lips touched mine, soft at first but with each movement of our lips the kiss was deepened.
I reached up with my free hand and locked my hand in his hair as he put his free hand around my waist pulling me closer to him. We stayed like that for a few minutes until I noticed my need to breathe.
I pulled away slowly, and quickly placed a small peck on his lips before I smiled.
He opened his eyes and grinned at me.
'That was…just…wow!' he said.
'Yeah, it really was' I smiled
'Wanna do it again?' he asked
'Stupid question Edward' I said leaning towards him.
Our lips were literally centimeters apart when my phone started beeping in my bag.
I sighed and quickly searched through my bag for my phone. I pulled it out and flipped it open.
'Hello?' I asked
'Bella, what's with the answer machine message? Are you ok?' Charlie quickly asked.
'Dad, I'm fine, it's just we need some help' I said as Edward started to play with a strand of hair which had fallen loose from my bun.
'We, who's we?' Charlie asked
'Me and Edward' I explained as I looked at Edward and smiled. He grinned back and placed a quick peck on my cheek.
'Who's Edward?'
'Look dad it doesn't matter right now, we need your help'
'Ok what's up?'
'Ok, well the thing is, were kind of locked in the mall'
'What! Bella how did you…'
'Dad I don't know can you just get us out please' I said quickly interrupting him.
'Ok Bells, I'll sort something out and ring you back ok'
'Ok Dad thanks, Bye' I said as I hung up.
I turned to Edward who was looking at me expectantly.
'Looks like were getting rescued' I said
He smiled as he leaned in a kissed me again.
