The first night
EPOV
After Alice dragged Bella off at the party I went to my room and slammed the door. I leaned against it and tried to calm down. What was Alice telling her? Was she telling her to stay away from me?
Bella probably should stay away from me. I only ever caused trouble. I hoped she wouldn't stay away. Even though Bella and I had just met, I already felt a connection to her. I found myself anxious for when I could see her again. I thought about going back to the party, but when I looked out my window I saw her getting into a jeep and driving away. Alice must have convinced her to stay away from me.
I was so raged I punched a hole into the wall by my door. I stood there breathing heavily and clenching my hands into fists. I couldn't just let this go.
BPOV
Emmett was staying at Rosalie's house so he let me drive his jeep home. Charlie was at work and I had the house to myself. I changed into cotton shorts and a t-shirt. I was sitting on my bed brushing my hair and thinking about Edward. Alice had said she thought it was okay if Edward and I 'hung out'. I wasn't sure if that was enough for me. His arms wrapped around me felt so perfect, but I was sure he just saw me as someone he could talk to. I guess that would have to be enough. For now.
I thought I heard a noise outside. I looked towards my window and started to panic. I had never been in the house alone before. Not that Renee was really useful, but being alone all of a sudden made the darkness outside seem very creepy.
I climbed off my bed and held my hairbrush like a weapon. I looked at it with a disgusted look. What would I do if there was an intruder, brush him to death? I dropped the hairbrush and made my way for the door. Just as I had my hand on the doorknob something knocked on my window. I spun around and bit back a scream. Then my face broke into a huge smile
Crouching on a branch of the willow tree outside my window was Edward. I ran to the window and opened it. "What the heck are you trying to do, kill yourself?"
"Geez I'm gonna have to stop smoking if I'm gonna do that again" He said looking back to the ground.
Did he just say do that again? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, okay don't freak out
I could feel my cheeks burning and hoped he wouldn't notice me blushing.
"You know you look real pretty when you blush" he said as he climbed through my window. Okay I didn't care that he saw me blushing he called me pretty. We both just stood there awkwardly staring at each other. Finally he spoke
"What did Alice talk to you about?"
I hesitated. I wasn't really sure how this best friend thing worked. I mean she hadn't told me not to tell him, but I also didn't want to make either of them upset. I decided I couldn't lie to him.
"She told me to stay away from you" I saw anger flash across his face "But when she found out I already knew about you she said it would be okay if we hung out"
"That was so nice of her to give her permission" He said tightly. Then his face softened "And what about you? Do you think it's okay if we hang out?"
I couldn't help it. I think I smiled the biggest smile I have ever smiled. He chuckled. There was another moment of awkward silence and I found myself blushing again. Slowly Edward brought the back of his hand up and brushed it against my cheek. "I really do like it when you blush." He whispered. I leaned into his hand and brought my hand up and placed in top of his. Quickly his hand dropped and he took a step back. I tried to hide the hurt in my eyes. I knew it. He just wanted to be friends.
Edwards mouth open and closed a couple of times before he spoke "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you upset, I've just never felt this way before and you took me a little off guard." He slowly stepped back to me. This time he cupped my cheek in his palm. "I've never kissed a girl before and I would very much like it if you were my first kiss Bella." He said it with such intensity that I could barely nod my head. I saw him lick his lips and lean towards me. I closed my eyes and tilted my head up. Softly his lips met mine. He barely applied any pressure. His lips stayed on mine for a few brief seconds then he slowly moved his head away.
"I think I would like to do that again sometime" He said
Okay how about right now. I could definitely handle more of that.
Edward went and sat on the edge of my bed looking at the floor. "Bella I'm not really sure how to go about this. I've always pushed people away so I'm not sure if I can even be close to someone, but I would like to try"
I felt like I was going to faint. Somehow my legs carried me to the bed. I sat next to Edward and slowly put my hand in his. I smiled. He looked at me and smiled too. He wrapped his other hand on the back of my neck and kissed me again. This time he applied more pressure and I felt his lips slightly part making my lips part too. I wrapped both my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. His hand I had just let go grabbed me around the waist. Edward leaned forward until I was lying on the bed and he was on top of me. His hand moved from my waist and slid down my leg. Suddenly he stood up. "I should probably go" He stammered.
"Don't go!" I said a little too abruptly "I mean I'm home alone tonight for the first time and, um, I'm a little scared." I blushed feeling totally embarrassed.
He looked at me and I could tell he wanted to chuckle, but knew it would upset me. He ran his hand across the back of his neck. "Okay if it would make you feel better I guess I could stay."
Edward looked at the bed like he wasn't sure what to do. Good thing my bed was full sized. I moved to one side and crawled under the blanket and looked at the other pillow. "There's room" I said. I looked up and laughed right out loud. Edward was blushing. It was the sweetest thing. He took off his jacket and hung it on my desk chair then slowly crawled under the blanket next to me. He was lying on his back and I decided to be very brave. I scooted over and laid my head on his chest. I felt his arms slowly wrap around me and he kissed the top of my head
"You know for somebody who doesn't know what he's doing your pretty good at this."
"Really. And who am I being compared to?"
"Nobody. I've never done this before either. I just know that you are definitely making my heart skip beats."
"Good night Bella" He chuckled.
"Good night Edward" Very very good night.
