Disclaimer; I do not own twilight. Seeing as I haven't the last 5 chapters, I still don't now I just wish.

Thank you thank you thank you to my first reviewer VALICECULLENatFORKSHIGH

It made me dead happy. If you've got a chance a review would actually make me so happy, an early birthday present? Aha, my birthday's on Saturday ;) well, I think I've rambled to much now, I'll shut up!

Edward pov

Of course I new who'd said something to Bella. It was obvious. Tanya Denali. Biggest bitch in the school and I heard Bella shout something about fakeness, that's what gave it away. I just wish Bella'd say what she said. Because even though she said she was fine it didn't stop me worrying about her. I new Tanya wouldn't just leave it now. And that's what scared me.

When gym was finished I hurried to get changed so I could see Bella before next lesson but it looked like she was already gone. I dawdled to next lesson not really in a rush to get anywhere and I arrived late. I got shouted at, but ignored her and just sat in my seat. The whole lesson was a blur to be honest. I didn't pay attention and just thought about Bella, sad as it sounds. There was something about her that made me instinctively want to protect her, even though she obviously didn't need protecting-today proved that.

Jeez, I'm falling in love with her and I've known her what, a day?

I bumped into Alice on the way to the lot at the end of the day. "Edward!" She screeched in my ear. Eugh, what did she want? "You are going to take Bella home today." What? As I was about to question her she spoke again. "Me and Em are going to Rose and Japer's, we're happy walking, it's only a few minutes." I looked over to where the others were stood. Emmett and Jasper had huge grins on their faces and Rosalie gave me the thumbs up. What the hell, they were all trying to set me up now? "So now you don't have to drive us home and you are free to give Bella a lift." She looked pretty triumphant with herself. Okay, so it was obvious this was all set up but I didn't care, it was time with Bella right?

"Okay, okay," I tried to act casual about it, but failed.

"Don't put that act on mister!" Alice laughed walking towards Japer, "We all no you love her!" I just rolled my eyes at her.

After a few moments I saw Bella walking out of the school gates, this was my chance. I started my car and cruised past her, trying to look casual. I rolled down my window and left the car on as I pulled up beside her. "Looks like you could use a ride." I said coolly enjoying the look of shock on her face when she saw me. Why was she always so startled to see me? "Oh, no you don't have to, I can walk." She smiled that breathtaking smile at me and my heart stuttered. Pull it together you douche I thought angrily to myself. "Nope, I insist, get in." I smiled back at her and after a moment she nodded and got into the car.

"Where are Alice and Emmett?" She asked as she pulled her seatbelt on and I drove out of the gates. Fuck, she's figured out the plan already. "Oh, they went to Rose and Jaspers, I dread to think what they'll be doing." She giggled and then spoke again.

"I like Rosalie and Jasper, they seem dead nice." I laughed quickly. I loved the way she spoke. "What are you laughing at?" She asked quickly.

"I just love your accent." I said, glancing over at her quickly. "And the way you use words like 'dead'" I imitated her. She laughed at me.

"Oh, well yeah. You use funny words too."

"Oh I do, do I?" I asked, amused.

"Yeah, like…" She stopped, obviously thinking. "Oh I don't know. I can't think right now." She scrunched up her nose in frustration and I laughed at her. So cute. She smiled back. I realized I had no clue where she lived so I asked her and she gave me directions.

We got to her house a few minutes later and she began talking again. "See, it's only a few minutes away. I could have walked."

"What kind of a gentleman would I have been if I'd have let you walk?" I asked her. She blushed, bless her and looked down. She looked up at me again and smiled and then she asked me, "Do you want to come in for a drink or something if you've got the time?" Was she asking me inside? Yeah, she was asking me inside! "That'd be great." I replied and got out of the car quickly to open her door for her. She even blushed at that. Was there anything she didn't blush at? It was still fucking cute though.

When we got to in her house she told me to take a seat anywhere so I followed her to the kitchen and took a seat at the table. Her house was nice; it had a homely vibe to it. I liked it. Before I new it I was blurting this out and then I was the one blushing. She laughed at me and said, "Thanks, what do you want to drink?"

"I was expecting tea actually," I joked and she stuck her tongue out at me.

"Fine then, you can have tea!" she laughed and joined me at the table.

That's when we had another 'moment'. She looked at me and I looked at her. And it wasn't like earlier when she looked away. Now she just stared back into my eyes, the intensity building steadily. Her eyes were the most amazing shade of brown. So loving and warm. So beautiful. And then her phone went off. Talk about kill a moment. She stood up slowly and took her phone out of her pocket and answered it, not looking at the screen, still looking at me. With an emotion in her eyes I couldn't place. "Hello? Oh Alice!" I'd kill her. I'd kill my twin with my bare hands. She looked away for the first time then. And carried on her conversation with my sister. "Yeah he's here, how did you know?" Don't blow it Alice, whatever you do it do not give it away. "Oh right. That's cool. Okay, yeah I'll text you later, bye." She hung up the phone.

"Sorry about that." I apologized. She looked confused and then she laughed.

"Sorry for what?"

"Alice?" She laughed again.

"Don't apologize for her, she's lovely." I joined her in laughing then.

We were laughing at nothing-literally but we couldn't stop. Eventually I did a few minutes later but she couldn't. "Oi! I teased her, stop laughing!" She continued.

"I'm…..Sorry." She managed to say between giggles. "But what…are…you gonna…..do about it?" I smiled wickedly at her. I walked over to her slowly and when she stepped away from me and I just approached her faster. When I reached her she'd stopped laughing-just- but that didn't stop me. "You dare." She threatened. I did dare. I grabbed her legs and swooped her over my shoulder, holding her there. She started giggling again and attempted to kick me but failed. "Stop it!" She demanded.

"Umm," I started, pretending to think about it momentarily, "Nope." I laughed and started running around her living room, Bella still over my shoulder.

I then slowly placed her down on her couch and leaned over from her, my face inches from hers. So close I could feel her sweet breath on my face.

"Bells?" A mans voice called.

"Shit," Bella muttered and jumped up quickly nearly bumping heads with me. "Great timing dad, really." I couldn't help but laugh then. This girl was amazing. And I was falling in love with her.
