To get back on track... No one will complain, I hope. hehe

Thank you so much for all the love and to my lightening fast beta and pre-reader, GeekChic12 and EveryDayBella.

You spit-take, and it's not perfect like on TV. You cough, choke, and I end up smacking you on the back a couple of times until you can breathe right again.

You whip around to face me, and I realize how stupid I sounded. I'd been so confident. Don't all guys want to have a friend-with-benefits? Apparently not. Maybe it's me. I always thought I looked kind of attractive, but maybe you don't see it. I stumble backwards. My mouth is moving, apologizing, as I move away from you.

I was wrong. So wrong.

It hurts beyond description.

I hurry out, praying to the ever-loving God that there's a cab waiting on the curb. I don't think I can stand to be here much longer.

I know I'll get over this eventually, but right now, all I want is my bed, mint chocolate chip ice cream and a pair of sweats.

An arm tugs me backwards, and I lose my balance, tumbling into a chest. You whisper my name before I can apologize, and I jump upright.

"Edward, I told you. Just ignore what I said." I try to squirm out of your arms.

You pull me closer. I don't meet your eyes. "I never said yes or no." I freeze. "But we need to talk first." Oh.

I nod. "Okay."

Your grip loosens, and I take a step back.

I text Alice, apologizing for abandoning them while you get us a cab. I slide in first, and when you close the door, my stomach is in intangible knots.


A/N: I want your opinions: will you think Edward say yes or no? I already gave you a peek inside his head. ;D
