"Come on beautiful Bella let's get outta here" I whispered in her ear. She smiled and nodded as she followed me out of the building and out to my car. I opened the door for her and caught a glimpse of her silk cerulean blue panties, my favorite color. But she was right. Isabella was definitely not a kid anymore. I felt an uncontrollable growl escape my chest as she slipped into the seat and I shut her door.

"So…Where to?" She asked as I took my time plugging in my iphone to the stereo. Really I needed a minute to think. Everything happened so fast.

*****

I had to break contact; run out of the class before I threw her down on the table and had my way with her in front of everyone. Where did this vixen side of Bella come from? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining, it was fucking sexy as hell but this extreme wasn't her. Something was up. I needed to know what and I needed to know now.

I waited for her outside of the door "Walk" I growled in her ear while grabbing her arm to lead her to the theatre. I go there during my study hall sometimes to get away and play the piano. It's private, there's usually no one around but the cleaning staff and they're paid off not to 'see' things. I have to admit with all of her stubbornness, I was shocked that she went with very little fight. Maybe she was as ready to throw in the towel as I was.

(Umbrella by Dogs Eye View)

I couldn't take it anymore. I kissed her hard and full of need pushing her body up against the back wall of the stage. She let me, as I melted on top of her. After a few intense moments I remembered why I had pulled her away. To get answers…

"What are you doing Isabella" I said breathing hard from the heat of the kiss, as I pushed off of her. I needed to put some distance between us if I was gonna succeed in questioning her.

"I really have no idea what you're talking about" She replied between pants. I looked at her and all I could see was the quick rise and fall of her beautiful tits in the silk button down, which was obviously made for a child, and her swollen lips as she attempted to catch her breath.

It took all of my will and strength to look away. I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration when her words sank in 'I really have no idea what you're talking about' she knew exactly what I was fucking talking about. Now I was getting pissed.

"Really? So you always get all dolled up just to come to school? This isn't you Bella!" I couldn't help screaming. It just came out. She's so frustrating sometimes and I wasn't in the mood to play games. I needed to know what was going on in that pretty head of hers.

"Oh really! How would you fucking know? Ever since I came back you've been doing nothing but sending me mixed signals as you try to hold on to some friend you had 7 years ago" Fuck! That stung straight through to my heart. I felt my chest tighten. I couldn't be mad her anymore because she was right. I had been so worried about how she's gonna fit in to my life that I was missing the bigger picture.

"Bella what do you want from me? I…I'm not good for you. I thought that maybe if you agreed to be friends I could still be around you and we could salvage some part of what we had but…"

"But"

"But if you were smart you would realize that I'm a bad guy and that we shouldn't even be friends" Suddenly the past 7 years came flooding back to my mind. Every bet, every game, every conquest, every drug, party, my entire journal. I hung my head and began to let the sadness and remorse take me over.

"Well let's say for arguments sake that I'm not smart" What? She can't be serious. I just told her that I would inevitably hurt her, there's no way around it. Too much has happened and she comes at me with that. I noticed she had begun to walk towards me. I was stuck to the ground like glue unable to put anymore distance between us. Against my better judgment I looked into her eyes and was surprised to see understanding and love instead of regret.

"Bella" her name fell from my lips as she continued to move closer.

"You're not a bad guy Edward. I can see through what you're trying to put off, I know you" She reached up and placed her delicate soft hand on my cheek. Her touch felt amazing, like home, like nothing else in the world mattered. I closed my eyes and leaned in to her hand letting the sensation seep through me. At that moment I no longer had it in me to fight.

"I don't have the strength to stay away from you anymore" I felt the water brim at my lashes. I took a deep breath to regain what little control I had left.

"Then don't" So simple. And with that she wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me into a kiss to which I could no long fight. It started out sweet and tender, but my need for more soon intensified. I licked her bottom lip asking permission to attack her mouth. She obliged parting her sweet lips allowing me entrance. My hands had minds of their own as they began to roam all over her tiny frame finally making their way south to the mother land under her luscious little ass squeezing it softly. I let out a soft moan when I squeezed, and it didn't escape me that she did the same at the contact of my hands on her body. Minutes ticked by and we broke apart to catch our breath. Forehead to forehead we stood panting.

****

I pursed my lips in thought as I turned the keys, my Volvo purred to life.

(We Used to Be Friends by Dandy Warhols)

"I have an idea, but we need to make a stop first"

"Ok" so trusting.

I pulled out of the parking spot and with one hand whipped the car around to face the exit. I noticed her buckle her seat belt and clamp down on the door handle as I sped out.

"Edward Anthony Cullen! Slow this car down right now!" I chuckled, she's so adorable. Silly Bella.

"Relax Isabella Marie Swan, I happen to be an excellent driver" I grinned, as I slowed to 55 in a 35 zone. "Better"

"No!" I looked over and she was laughing. One of my most favorite sounds in the world. My house was only a five minute drive from campus, we there in no time.

"Um…I hope you don't think I'm gonna hop into that dirty bed of yours after one kiss?"

"Wow! Harsh, slow your roll silly girl we're just changing cars" Her face quickly turned bright red as she was visibly embarrassed by her assumption. We got out and her brow furrowed in confusion.

"Switching cars? To what?" I grabbed her hand leaving our books in the Volvo and led her into the garage.

"Bella Lucy, Lucy Bella" She wrinkled her nose and smiled. "What?"

"Lucy…I remember when we were kids you used to joke about having a convertible named Lucy" her smile was bright and warm, relaxed. She was relaxed with me. She trusted me. My heart felt like it was gonna burst with happiness.

"Not just any convertible" I corrected her "this, my dear, is an Aston Martin, my Lucy" I opened the passenger door and she slipped in. Those long legs were the best accessory this car has ever had. I quickly plugged in my iphone and we were off, out of the Kirkland gates in no time.

(You Were The Last High by Dandy Warhols)

As I sped down the highway I noticed she closed her eyes and leaned her head back slightly letting the breeze sweep through her long mahogany hair. So beautiful. My mind began to wonder, starting with her delicate ankles strapped in those come fuck me heels I'm sure Alice had put her in. Thank you Alice! Slowly my eyes traveled up her long legs to her soft thighs and the hem her skirt which rose up even further now that she was sitting. Her feminine hips pressed against the seat. Beautiful breasts peeking out of the blouse, I bet they're C's. Perfect, not too big but just right. I sucked in hard and loud as my pants tightened.

"Get a grip Cullen!" I whispered under my breath as I mentally slapped myself.

She must have heard me because her deep brown questioning eyes flew open to look at me but she said nothing, just smiled.

"Where are we?" she asked looking around at the scenery

"You'll see" I sped towards the coast passing the 'First Beach Cliff' sign. A huge smile stretching from ear to ear danced on her gorgeous face as she realized where we were.

"La Push? I haven't been here since we were kids."

"Yeah, I figured we should enjoy it while it lasts. This heat wave is supposed to end any day now. I wanted to come down here one last time before the season ended. Now seemed like the perfect time" I shrugged and parked overlooking the cliff. She jumped out giggling as memories of our shared childhood passed through her eyes. Giggling…now that was my most favorite sound in the world.

"Come on" she took her heels off and headed towards the trail.

"Bella be-" Too late. She slipped and landed on her ass. I quickly took my shoes off tossing them in the car and ran over to her. I was surprised to find her doubled over with laughter as she sat on the grassy cliff side. It was infectious. I began to laugh uncontrollably with her. For the first time in years I felt like I could breath, laugh, be me.

"Silly little girl…are you alright?" Her laughter calmed and I knelt down to brush a stray strand of hair that had escaped the ponytail. She looked up at me with those dark pools of brown and I swear I felt the earth shake under my feet. I stood back up and held out my hands to pull her up.

"Thanks" she quietly said looking away and out towards the water. We continued to walk in silence as we made our way to the sand.

(The Sharp Hint of New Tears by Dashboard Confessional)

"So, are you gonna tell me what this Alice make over is all about? I mean I'm not complaining you look fucking fantastic, but you always look amazing. This just doesn't seem like you" She shrugged and walked over to sit on a large sitting log left over from past beach goers.

"Um…I guess I just wanted to see what it was like" I sat next to her waiting for her to continue "You know, being sexy, desired, envied. I was sick of everyone thinking that I'm just this innocent little girl always on the verge of being taken advantage of or having her heart broken." I listened intently trying my hardest to figure her out. "Maybe I want to be taken advantage of sometimes. Maybe I'm ready to have my heart broken…I just, I don't know, I wanted to be someone else. A different side of myself for one day. Does that sound crazy?"

It actually made sense and I couldn't blame her for feeling that way. On the one had she had grown up, a lot. I'm sure dealing with the divorce and now her mom in rehab really made her grow up faster then she should have. But, on the other, she was sweet and innocent. She really had no idea what she was getting herself into entering this world and I felt the need to protect her. Protect her from herself and what she thinks she wants.

"It's not crazy, but Bella, you have no idea what you're saying. You don't want to enter this world. You 're so much better than this, better then all of us"

She groaned "not you too" as she stood up and walked a few steps towards the water.

"What?" I got up to follow her.

"Oh my God! Stop telling me what I want. I know what I want" she turned to face me, lust building in her eyes. She grabbed my crotch and gave a sexy little grin.

"Isabella" I growled "stop before I do something you might regret later"

She sighed letting go and walking further down the beach to dip her toes in the water. I couldn't move. Sucking in deep breaths to calm my dick down I watched as she stood there with her arms crossed staring out at the horizon. Even though we had crossed a threshold today I felt the nagging need to slow things down.

She might think she knows what she wants but I wasn't convinced. I realized that nothing more could be figured out at the moment and a storm was visibly heading towards us from the water.

"Bella" I walked to stand beside her. She was so deep in thought that she remained unmoved at the sound of her own name. Finally she snapped out of it and looked at me. A hint of sadness in her eyes.

"What's going on in there" I asked as I rested my hand on the side of her neck. She took a deep breath and exhaled

"Nothing…my mom…everything" A silent moment passed as we stood there at the water's edge getting lost in each other's eyes. The sound of distant thunder broke the spell.

"Come on, we gotta get going before the storm hits ground." She smiled slightly and nodded turning to walk back up the beach allowing my hand to slip around her waist, she leaned into me. "You hungry?" I asked. Knowing Alice and her rules I'm sure Bella hadn't eaten a thing all day. She nodded yes into my shoulder. I let her go first back up the trail anticipating a fall backwards at any moment. I wasn't disappointed. She tripped and I caught her before she could hit the ground.

"Wow Cullen any excuse to feel me up eh" She joked coming out of the stupor she was in down at the water. I remained silent until we reached the passenger door. With one hand on the door handle I pushed Bella up against the car resting my other hand on the other side of her.

(Crash by Dave Mathews Band)

"Now Isabella, if I intended to feel you up, you'd know it because you'd be begging me NOT to stop." I flashed her my crooked grin and opened the door as I heard her breath hitch. Visibly shaken and speechless she slid into the car. I couldn't help but chuckle as I walked around to get in. She flashed me a wicked look of annoyance and humphed, too cute for words.

Feeling a drop on my head I quickly pushed the roof button calling for the hard top to slip over the top of the car as I backed up and speed back down the highway.

Noticing her still annoyed expression I wiggled my eyebrows at her in an attempt to make her laugh. She smiled and bit the inside of cheek trying desperately not laugh or look at me.

"The silent treatment?!" I asked in mock horror. "Wow! I'm sorry I didn't realize this was first grade" She stuck her tongue out at me. God I wanted to suck that delicious pink tongue into my mouth.

"W-O-W! Real mature Bella" I laughed. Finally she cracked letting herself laugh out loud

"Well you know what they say you are you hang with" she quipped

"Oh that's it! You're in trouble now" I began tickling her side with my right hand driving the car with my left.

"st-o-p, Cu-ll-en, STOP!" she squeaked between laughs. "O…ahhh….Ed-w-ard! (hahaha) watch the road!" I finally relented allowing her to grab my hand. She laced her fingers between mine and placed both of our hands in her lap as she looked out the window at the rain that had begun to fall. I was more content than I had ever been in that moment when I looked down and saw her small hand entwined with my own.

"Eat out or in?" I asked once we made it back to the main freeway connecting Forks to Port Angeles, the nearest down town.

"Let's get something to go" she smiled. Her mind had slipped off to another world down on the beach, but now she seemed like her old carefree self.

"Sounds good to me" I pulled into the parking lot of Mr. Lucky Golden Buddha Chinese Restaurant, terrible name, but amazing food. "Chinese ok"

"Um yeah sounds good" reluctantly I let go of her hand to get out of the car. My hand went cold from the loss of contact. Her face fell slightly suggesting that we were thinking the same thing.

"Come on beautiful" We got out and ran for the door. It was now pouring buckets. Normally I would be pissed about having Lucy out in the rain, but nothing could distract me from the sheer joy I felt from spending the day with Bella.

"Welcome to Mr. Lucky Golden Buddha, How can I serve you today?" The hostess sang at us. I thought I saw Bella roll her eyes as she shifted her weight towards me.

"We're just gonna place an order to go"

"Ok, let me know. I can get you anything you want…anything"

"Thank you" I said already looking down at the menu. I felt the hostess scamper off.

"What do you…what?" She had a disgusted slightly amused look on her face.

"'I can get you anything you want…anything' my god it would have been more subtle if she would have just thrown her panties at you" she stood there with her arms crossed and her hip popped to the side with a cute little scowl on her face.

"Surely I have no idea what you're talking about"

"Ya ok" she scoffed

"Is someone jealous?"

"Bit me Cullen"

"In due time" yes, mission accomplished, her face turned bright red. She rolled her eyes trying to play it off but I could tell she was flustered and turned on.

"And anyways why would I be jealous, I have nothing to be jealous of." She shot back.

"Bella..." I moved in our faces inches apart. She unconsciously licked her lips and stared at mine. "What do you want to eat" she pushed me and recrossed her arms giving a little laugh.

After 20 minutes our order was up. I grabbed the bags of food and we made another mad dash to the car getting soaked in the process. I quickly opened her door trying to shield her from the rain and ran around to my side to jump in.

(Everything by Fefe Dobson)

"Man it's really coming down now. I'm glad we decided to eat in" she said.

With the way I drive the ride back to Forks and Kirkland Community only took about 20 minutes.

I had called Geoffrey on the way asking him to meet us at the garage with towels. He was there waiting when we pulled in.

"Geoffrey thank you"

"Sir"

"Pleas dispense the food on to two plats and take them up to my room" I was met with a disgusted look "what now"

"Who eats Chinese food from plats? Scratch that Gef, just bring up some chopsticks" I laughed and shook my head at her.

"Yes Miss Swan"

"Bella Gef, just Bella"

"Right sorry Miss, I mean Bella"

"S'alright just don't let it happen again!" she joked raising her eyebrow in mock seriousness. She never ceases to amaze me. I wrapped a towel around her and used it to pull her into the main house.

"Come on silly girl. You need to get out those wet clothes"

"Uh huh" her eyebrows pulled together at the double meaning of my words. Once in my room I pulled out a button down shirt and a pair of boxer shorts for her to put on. I knew she had clothes here but I thrilled at the thought of Bella slipping her hot naked body into mine.

"Uh huh" she repeated with a quizzical look.

"What?" if there was ever a time to have mind reading powers now would definitely be it!

"Nothing, nothing" She said taking the clothes and heading into my bathroom with a wicked little smirk on her face. I rolled my eyes at her and quickly ducked back into my closet to change. Although I knew it didn't really matter what I put on, I still took a few moments to consider. Finally, I settled on some blue Calvin Klein pajama pants and a grey t-shirt. Geoffrey had brought the food up on a serving tray just as Bella came out of the bathroom.

(Candy Shop by 50cent)

My heart began to race as my traitorous lower body visibly reacted to the sight before me. Never had my clothes looked so good. She had rolled the boxers up making them the shortest shorts I had ever seen allowing them to hang on her hips. Apparently she felt the need to only button 3 buttons on the shirt allowing her tits to float up at the top with her midriff peeking out bellow. To top it all off she adorably rolled the sleeves up to her elbows seeing as my shirt was obviously a few sizes too big for her. I gulped hard at the sight of her. This woman is gonna be the death of me. After regaining my control I grabbed her uniform from her and handed it to Geoffrey.

"Please see to Miss Swa…I mean Bella's" I winked at her "uniform"

"Right away sir" he left and we were alone in my room.

(Thirteen by Big Star)

I had Geoffrey set the trey down on the floor in the sitting area in front of the TV

"I thought we could have an indoor picnic" I nervously stammered gesturing for her to sit down.

"Sounds great" luckily she seemed just as nervous which actually calmed my nerves a bit.

"What would you like to watch, I've got just about anything you could think of." I really did. I loved movies, mostly because I loved watching the music and how the soundtracks corresponded to different stories and moods as I watched them unfold. "I know, how about the Wizard of Oz" What, it's a fucking classic!

"Um ok" she laughed more at me than with me.

I popped it into the blue-ray player and sat beside her on the floor. She had already begun to pillage through the different boxes of food tasting everything before settling on the chicken chow mein.

"Oh my gosh this is the best Chinese I think I've ever had!" I was getting lost in her lips as she sucked up noodles. Every so often she would lick the taste off as she continued to chew. Watching Bella eat the most erotic thing I have ever seen.

"Mm" was all I could say.

"Oh! I am stuffed to the max that was amazing thank you" out of nowhere she leaned in and kissed my cheek.

"You're welcome" my voice cracked, fuck get a hold of yourself! Nothing is gonna happen tonight! I'm not gonna let anything happen tonight.

About thirty minutes into the movie she scooted into my side and rested her head on my shoulder. I lifted my arm up and draped it around her. Slowly her breathing evened out and she was asleep. I couldn't help but stare at the rise and fall of her chest as she slept peacefully at my side. Her mouth hung in the most inviting little 'o' while her lids and lashes fluttered every so often against her beautiful face.

Off in the distance I heard Dorothy say "you were there and you" followed by the credits. As much as I wanted to let her sleep I knew our time was almost up and she would need to head home for the night.

"Bella" I whispered "Bella baby wake up"

"Mmmm" she murmured against my chest before opening those pretty browns and looking up at me. "Hi"

(Dreaming Aloud by Foo Fighters)

"Hi" I said back as my eyes fell to her lips. Like a moth to a flame I leaned in further and lightly brushed my lips against hers. She timidly wrapped her arms around my neck and pulled me down on top of her as she leaned back until her head met the carpet. She licked and bit my bottom lip begging me to deepen the kiss. I complied, battling her tongue for dominance. The semi that I had been sporting for most of the day quickly turned into a full erection brushing against her thigh causing her to moan against my lips, while I elicited my own set of sounds. Slowly I moved to her ear and neck tasting every inch of her delicious skin with my teeth and tongue.

"Edward" she withered underneath me. My hand traced up her hip till it reached its destination cupping her breast. I kissed down the length of her neck stopping to lick across her collarbone before moving further south to the top of her breasts. She arched her chest into my hand and lips as she ran her tiny fingers through my hair. Using my nose to push the shirt out of the way I greedily nipped and sucked on the tender flesh that peeked out at the top of her bra cup.

"mmm so good" I whispered against her skin before coming back to my senses and kissing my way back up her body to her cheek. I lifted my face up to look her in the eyes. She smiled the most wonderful lust filled smile as I brushed some of her hair from her face.

"It's getting late, you should probably head home before the DA sends out a search party" she nodded biting her swollen bottom lip causing my dick to twitch. I kissed her lips and sighed before kissing her on her forehead. Reluctantly I pushed myself up to stand and reached my arms out to help her up.

Knock Knock Knock

We both jumped. I ran over to the door opening it only to a crack. I don't think either of us were ready to bring Alice and the rest of the outside world into whatever 'this' is.

"Miss Bella's uniform sir" It was only Geoffrey.

"Thank you Geoffrey" I shut the door and realized Bella was standing right behind me. She smiled up at me and I ran my hand through her hair as she took her uniform from my hands. No words were needed at the moment. It was a comfortable silence as she slipped into the bathroom to put her uniform and shoes back on.

(Darling Nikki by Foo Fighters…It's the sexy uniform song lol)

When she stepped out, my cock led my body to push her against the wall.

"You're not allowed to wear this uniform to school anymore, not unless you wanna be attacked on a lab table every afternoon" my voice was low and husky as I spoke inches from her face.

"Don't tell me what to do Cullen" She shot back in a silky sexy voice as she stepped around me and headed towards the door. I grabbed her arm turning her around and crashing my lips to hers. She moaned into me allowing my arms to support all of her weight.

I walked her down to her truck. The slightest feeling of tension danced between us neither of us knowing what to say. She hopped up into her truck and I shut her door leaning in through the window I brushed another strand of hair from her beautiful face and rested my forehead against hers.

(She's Perfect by Jimmy Eat World)

"We're gonna have to talk about this death trap of yours" she rolled her eyes

"There's nothing wrong with my truck! Cherry Bomb is perfect!"

"HA! The Runaways very nice"

"I thought so"

"Seriously though at least let one of us drive you to school, I'm sure even Rosalie would pick you up" She stuck her tongue out at me and got that cute stubborn look on her face.

"Cullen I swear if you show up on my door step to drive me to school I will kick your sorry ass all the way back through those golden gates!"

(sigh) "That's my girl" I laughed kissing her one last time. "I'll have Alice send someone over with the rest of your new stuff later…unless you're thinking about making her return all of it which would be perfectly fine you know" She thought for a minute

"You know I think I'm gonna keep it all. It'll be nice to infuse new Bella into my life. I think I'm ready for some change" I nodded in understanding. "I better get going"

She turned the key and her truck roared with the same stubbornness and attitude as its driver causing me to chuckle. She pulled out and disappeared beyond the property gates I waved and turned to head back into the house.

I crawled back up to my room and lay on my bed with my hands behind my head staring up at the ceiling. The entire day came flooding back to me. The only thing that I was sure of at this point is that I wasn't sure about anything. I wasn't sure about tomorrow, or how to interact with her in public. Everything was simple in our little bubble today. It was easy and natural. Other people complicate things. I had no idea how long I had been laying there when I heard a soft tap at the door.

"Enter" Alice sauntered in with a quizzical look on her tiny face.

"Brother dear"

"Sister dear" I didn't move. She came and sat on the side of my bed as I continued to stare at the ceiling.

"So where did you disappear to today?"

"That my dear is none of your damn business" I replied in a monotone voice still deep in thought.

"It's funny because Bella seemed to have disappeared too. Jasper said she wasn't in American Lit….I hope she's not sick" here we go…

"Get to the point Alice" now I was getting annoyed

"Just tell me if you two were together" she crossed her arms and stared hard at me.

"Did we spend the day together, yes. Are we together, no. And no, I don't know what any of it means, and I don't know what's going on or how she feels, or even how I feel for that matter." Her look softened.

"Scoot"

"What?"

"Scoot" she yelled as she climbed into bed next to me. "Wow…"she sighed and we laid there in silence.

A/N

So that's it! That's the "after the kiss" chapter. I hope you weren't too disappointed that they didn't just go at it. I wanted at least one sweet Bella/Edward chapter before jumping back into the drama head first. Stay tuned, many fun times to come! And PLEASE keep reviewing.
