He grazed his tongue against my lip, when we heard footsteps rushing down the stairs.

Chapter 7

The minute we heard the noise, we quickly pulled apart and turned so we were just sitting next to each other innocently.

"What the hell?"

I popped my head out of the fort to see Rosalie standing outside of the fort, completely confused. "Hey, sorry yea we kind of set up camp down here, cause it was getting a little loud and disturbing up there." I said glaring at her.

She giggled, "Yea, sorry about that, can't help it, Emmett is just so-"

"WHOA WHOA WHOA" Edward shouted, crawling out of the fort, "I do NOT want to hear about Emmett, lets keep that to ourselves.

Rosalie just rolled her eye, "whatever, I just came down to grab some water, I will see you guys in the morning."

We both wave to her as she walked out of the room; we sat there in silence listening for Rosalie's footsteps till we heard the door to her room close. We both looked at each other, neither of us really sure of what to say, it was a little bit awkward.

Finally after a few minutes, Edward ended the uncomfortable silence, "so, we should probably talk about what just happened." I nodded, not really sure what to say. He sighed, "look Bella I really like you; you are unlike anyone else I have ever met." I smiled, "I really like you too; you are not like most guys I have ever talked to, which is good."

He laughed, "I would really like to get to know you better, but I don't think we should really start a relationship until after Alice's wedding. It would just cause extra mayhem on top of the wedding, considering how nosey our friends are." I couldn't help but laugh at that, "yea that's very true, I agree; I am totally cool with that plan."

Edward smiled, "Okay good, so until the end of Alice and Jasper's wedding we are just friends?"

I nodded, "Yep just friends!"

I smiled up at him, for a few seconds we were just looking at each other smiling. Then next thing I knew, I was trapped between Edward and the floor. His lips pressed hard against mine and for a few seconds I was completely frozen in shock before I came to my senses and started moving my lips against his.

Kissing Edward was one of the most amazing feelings in the world, his lips were soft against mine, but it had such a sensual feel that made my head spin. We just lay there kissing for I don't know how long, when we finally pulled apart.

Edward lifted his head slightly to look at me and grinned, "Well… we seem to be just no good at being friends. I would apologize for jumping on top of you like I did, but let's be honest… I am not sorry." With that statement he winked down at me, making me blush a whole lot.

Edward chuckled at my blush and stroked my cheek, "so what should we do about this? I don't know if I can be just friends till the end of this wedding."

I laughed at his statement, "Well, I agree with you on that, but at the same time I don't want to steal attention from the wedding… plus you know how into our lives our friends like to get." I sighed and thought for a second, and a great idea came to me, I looked at Edward to find him staring at me curiously, obviously wondering what I was thinking about.

I smirked, "well our friends seem to be pushing us together and we don't want them in our business… but we can't seem to just be friends. So why don't we just keep it out of our friend's view… act like just friends with them and when we are one our own or walking around hear without the others, we are free to do what we want. They won't know anything about our relationship and it would drive Alice nuts."

Edward looked at me questioningly, "and driving Alice nuts is a good idea?"

I laughed, "well she will be more annoying, but also would be very entertaining. Plus it's payback for her constantly trying to know and control everything in my life."

Edward chuckled, I must say Bella, you have a devious mind… but I am really liking it and I am completely in on this plan." He then lowered his head to kiss me slowly and sensually, still managing to make my head spin.

With on final peck on the lips he rolled off of me and smiled, "Okay if we are going on with this plan, then we will have to wake up earlier than the others, because last time we woke up after them they stood there giggling at the two of us sleeping on the hammock. Emmett and Jasper refused to drop it and kept on with their teasing through most of the morning." He winked at me, "so I will put my phone alarm on for 9:00am because lets be honest, Alice will most likely not be sleeping in very late this close to the wedding. Which also means we should go to sleep now, otherwise we will be dead tired tomorrow."

I giggled and nodded, "yea you're right, and if we are really still tired we can nap later on in the day, when the Alice isn't there to pull us out of our beds."

Edward snickered, "yea that's probably our best bet." He grabbed all the pillows that ended up scattered around our little fort and put them all together at the entrance of it. I grabbed the remote and shut off the TV and then lay down on the pillows next to Edward. When I did, Edward laid a blanket over top of me and tucked it around me, making me smile involuntarily at his sweetness.

He then cozied up next to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, which was quite alright with me. I lay my head on his chest and close my eyes, a few seconds later I felt his lips press to the top of my head, "goodnight Bella." I whispered a quick goodnight and soon after fell asleep with a permanent smile on my lips.

…

The next morning I woke up to a bunch soft kisses being pressed all over my face, definitely an ideal wake up call. I opened my eyes slowly to find myself staring into Edward's gorgeous green eyes.

"Mmmm… good morning."

Edward grinned crookedly, "good morning gorgeous."

I smiled widened at his words and cheerful grinned, "how long have you been up?" He push the hair away from my face, and pushed it behind my ear, making me blush.

"Not long, the alarm went off a few minutes ago, I just shut it off before it could wake you up. You looked so peaceful and I thought you should get a nicer walk up call then my blaring phone alarm."

That just made my heart melt, could he get any freaking sweeter? "Oh, Edward you are far too sweet," I lifted my head up a kissed him on the cheek. Edward took matters into his own hands and turned my face so my lips no longer connected to his cheek but to his lips… his very soft lips.

If I had it my way I would have spent the entire day kissing Edward, unfortunately it was not a possibility. Edward sat up and pulled me up next to him, wrapping his arms around me, "as much as I would like to continue kissing you, we should probably get up before the others wake and catch us."

I laughed and nodded, "yea, come on lets go; you can help me with breakfast." Edward hopped up and held out his hand to help me up, "it would be my absolute pleasure, Bella."

We walked hand in hand to the kitchen where I reluctantly had to let go of his hand so I could grab everything I needed to make breakfast. I decided to make muffins so I asked Edward to get the eggs and milk from the fridge while I looked for the flour, sugar and other ingredients I needed.

Baking with Edward proved to be a lot of fun and entertaining… although he tended to distract me quite a bit. While he did do what I asked him to, he also seemed to enjoy periodically driving me nuts with little touches and kisses every time he passed by me. Then anytime I would look a him he would just smile innocently, as if everything was accidental… yea accidental my ass.

Since I was in a baking mood, I decided to make a few different types of muffins… I knew Emmett was going to appreciate that. I got the chocolate chip and carrot muffins in the oven, and prepared that berry and apple cinnamon muffin batter while they baked.

As I finished pouring the last bowl of batter into the muffin tin when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist and a pair of lips pressing against my neck. His soft kisses pressing on my neck gave me goose bumps and made me shiver slightly. I slowly turned around and was met with Edward's intense gaze, one which I wouldn't be able to tear my eyes away from even if I tried. He started to lean in painfully slowly making me anxious to feel his lips on mine.

When his lips were less than an inch from mine, the damn oven timer started beeping alerting me that the first batch of muffins were done. Edward sighed and moved away from me, allowing me to pull the muffins from the oven and place the other two tins with batter into the oven and reset the timer.

With that done, I turned around and walked slowly towards Edward who was leaning against the island. I stopped right in front of him and wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him down so we were face to face and pressing my lips to his. I felt him smile against my lips and then deepen the kiss.

After a few seconds he put his hands on my hips, turned me around and lifted me onto the counter all without breaking our kiss. Now that we were at the same level he took it as a chance to intensify our kiss. He ran the tip of his tongue across my lips and I was so thankful that I was sitting on the counter otherwise I would have probably ended up on the floor.

I opened my mouth giving him access and he took the opportunity to explore my mouth, which was quite alright with me. Edward lightly bit down on my lip cause me to squeal in surprise, making him chuckle lightly.

We continued to making out in the middle of the kitchen and I wasn't ready to stop anytime soon. Unfortunately the banging sound of Emmett running down the stairs cause us to pull apart quickly, moving further away from each other as to not look suspicious.

"I SMELL SOME OF BELL'S FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC MUFFINS!"
