"Bella, I'm ...um... Bella Swan. I'm sorry um about your butt." About your butt? Why am I so stupid?

"Haha I think I'll survive. Um do you live here? "

"No, I live in Forks, Washington. I came here to get my mind off of …things. And my friend Alice,"I said pointing over to where she was staring at us by the drink table, ".. won tickets to see this movie on premier night."

"Oh wow, Forks is really far from here. Are you a fan?"

"Well I am. Starting when I saw the movie of course. I really didn't know who you were before today." I said slightly embarrassed.

"What? Ha that really hurts my ego. To know a a beautiful lady such as yourself doesn't know who I am." Oh my, he was smooth with his words!

Oh my gosh! He just called me beautiful. I think I should just play it cool, show him the real me. "So I guess this is how you TRY to get fans. By calling them pretty and what not? Ha nice." With that I turned not really knowing where I was going. Edward stopped me by touching my wrist. It seemed like an electric shock flowed from his fingers up my arm and all the way to my stomach giving me butterflies. I turned to look at him and froze. Our faces were merely a few inches apart. I couldn't think of a coherent thought! Was this what all the books meant by being dazzled. He had to die for green eyes!

"Bella I didn't mean...,", he was at a loss for words. His beautiful face was showing his shock and hurt. "... I-I didn't mean to insult you. If that's what I did. You are beautiful, even though you might not believe I am telling the truth."

"Ha! So now what? You're trying to hit on me?" It was kind of fun making him uncomfortable.

"No! No I'm just-"

"Edward! Edward! Calm down. I'm kidding. I was just seeing what... you... would …. do." I said between my fit of giggles. I was looking close to his reaction and he looked angry. Oops, maybe I went too far. From his shocked face he couldn't believe that I just did that. Now it was his turn to leave.

I walked quickly to catch up to him. And boy was he fast! " Edward,..." I said reaching out and touching his hand. Dang it! Again with the every time-we-touch- my-knees-get-all-shaky- sensation.

"... I'm sorry."

He turned to face me. That little- He was laughing at me! I let go of his hand abruptly and looked down at my shoes making my hair fall over my face. I could feel my self blushing. I was so embarrassed my ears were even red!

"Haha! Gotcha! Two can play at this game Bella dear... Oh come on Bella, look at me." As he said this he tucked my hair behind my ear and put his index finger under my chin so I could look into his eyes. He sighed. "Can you forgive me , Bella? I am so sorry I got you good at your own game and I would like your forgiveness." He was so not playing fair. It was like he was using his good looks to his full extent and dazzling me with his emerald eyes. I can stare into his eyes for days. Oh! He was still waiting for his answer. I wanted to say yes so badly but my stubborn part of me held back.

"No!" I turned once again pretending to leaving. Edward could tell I wasn't as serious as before and caught me by the waist and pulled me back twirling around in a half circle. I giggled while he put me down. He had on the most beautiful crooked smile on! We were both laughing when his gorgeous Co-star came by and interrupted our giggle session.

"So Eddie. Who is your little friend?"She said smirking at me, like she was better than me! Ugh how dare she!

"Oh, Tanya, this here is my friend Bella Swan. What's with the 'Little' part? There is no need to be rude." Edward said his last sentence so low and harshly into her ear. If I hadn't been paying attention I would have thought they were having an intimate conversation. By now Tanya had both of her arms wrapped tightly around his arm like a little leach. I wasn't prepared for how strong my jealousy was. What was I doing? I barley knew this guy. For goodness sake, I barley met him today. But for some reason it felt like I have known him all my life. It was so easy to be around him!

"Oh, Bella. So I can see how close you were getting to my Eddie." Tanya took a step closer to me to whisper in my ear. "If you ever touch Edward again, I will take care of you personally." She stepped back, Edward had clearly not heard the last of what Tanya said. With a small smile on her face, Tanya faced Edward ….. and gave him a small peck on his lips! Oh that did it for me! I was so hurt, I stalked back to Alice who was staring in our direction. I was afraid I was going to cry right there in front of Edward and Tanya. Of course he wasn't single. He was a movie star. Why would he be interested in a girl who came from Forks. I was so mad at my self for even thinking that was possible.

Alice was in shock but I knew I would be interrogated when we got back to our hotel room. She just looked at me with the same shocked expression that she has had on her face the whole night.

Edward POV

Ugh! Tanya just ruined a moment I was having with Bella. My, oh ,my. Bella was something else. She made me feel so normal. I can tell she was being herself around me not like all those other girls I have talked with. Fake, fake, fake! I'm not sure how I now this but I have a good feeling about her. She was just do intriguing! I needed to figure her out some more. Right now all I have is that she is very mature, too bad I didn't know her age she didn't look too young, Or so I hoped. She was so stubborn and was a very easy blusher. Oh how beautiful she looked with some extra color.

It was sort of out of an impulse that I decided to grab her around her waist and pull her towards me. I was so happy with the contact that I didn't even think of what her reaction would be, but was relieved to hear her laughing in enjoyment. When I put her down, my annoying friend,Tanya, decided to ruin our moment with her presence.

"So Eddie. Who is your little friend?" , said Tanya. I mentally groaned. She was being so rude!

"Oh, Tanya, this here is my friend Bella Swan. What's with the 'Little' part? There is no need to be rude." I whispered harshly into her ear so she could get the warning clear. Did I just call Bella my friend? I wanted to be so much more than just a friend. Whoa there buddy! Did I really just think that? I didn't expect to feel this strongly about someone who I've only met for a day.

"Oh, Bella. So I can see how close you were getting to my Eddie." MY Eddie? What the heck was going on here? I can't even remember how many times I have told Tanya I am just not interested! Of course I did it with the most politeness I can give. I was still in shock after Tanya's comment. She whispered to Bella who looked utterly shocked, hurt and angry. Oh no. What did Tanya say? Tanya stepped back and had a small smile on her face and turned to kiss me on the lips! From the corner of my eye I saw Bella walk away as I pushed Tanya away.

"What the hell was that Tanya? I've told you over and over in the nicest possible ways! I'm. Not. Interested! Now look at what you've done! And stop calling me Eddie!" I was afraid that Bella would not talk to me after she just saw a women kiss me in front of her. Now where did she go? Ah! There she was , now exiting the front doors. I ran over to her calling her name over and over.

"Bella, I am so sorry! I have told Tanya more than 10 times that I am not interested in her in any romantic ways."

Bella's POV

"Really because you weren't saying anything when she was calling you 'My Eddie' or when she was all over you back there. Or when she kissed you!" I felt so hurt. I did not want to cry in font of him right now.

"I'm truly sorry Bella. I was still under the shock of her coming in and ruining our conversation"

"You know what Edward?" I didn't wait for his response. "I don't even know why I am getting so mad, it's none of my business anyway"

"I want it to be your business.",Edward said in a small voice while looking down at the floor. He looked up to see my reaction. I was shocked.

"W-what?" , was my genius response.

"I want to get to know you better, Bella." ,Edward said shyly.

I believed him. For some reason I knew he wouldn't lie to me. I don't know how but I knew.

"I would love to."
