Edward and I spent the rest of the weekend hashing out an agreement that we both could live with. Not that I was really happy about it anyway, I was still stuck at denial, since I was going to be kissed every time I slipped up and swore, but hey, turnaround is fair play. I figured if he was going to do it to me, then I could do it to him.

I, Isabella Swan, hereby agree to the following:

For every swear word uttered in the hearing range of Edward Cullen, I shall receive one kiss lasting no more than thirty seconds.

If more than five swear words are uttered in his hearing range, I shall receive one long kiss of a length determined by him.

If I attempt to weasel out of a kiss, a penalty is applied being either 1) Two kisses for the swear word or 2) Lengthening the kiss to longer than thirty seconds, but no more than a minute and a half.

For every swear word Edward Cullen utters within my hearing distance, turnabout is fair play and the above rules apply to him.

Should I not be in hearing range of Edward, but in hearing range of Emmett, Jasper, Alice, or Rosalie, I have the option of them reporting how many swear words I uttered to Edward or doing them one favor.

Note: Opt for kisses with Alice as she'll take me shopping.

Violation of any of the above rules results in a kiss of undetermined time, but no shorter than two minutes, length to be determined by kisser.

"Isabella, we're here." Emmett said, waving a hand in front of my face, pulling me out of my thoughts. I blinked, looking out the window. Sure enough, we were at school. I started wondering if Edward would take any of my remaining eight kisses here in front of everybody.

Sighing, I got out of the jeep, grabbing my backpack and walking towards the school. I still wasn't thrilled to be here, but I had also agreed to at least let them try to be my friends. Taking a deep breath I headed off to my first class. This was going to be a long day.

I really hate it when I'm right sometimes and this was defiantly one of those times. The morning passed by with agonizing slowness. Each hour felt more like a year. I tapped my pencil against my desk waiting for the class to end, bored out of my mind.

Well, maybe not bored. I was debating the situation with Edward. I was still in denial about wanting to kiss him back, but every time he kissed me, it was getting harder and harder to not kiss him back. I was utterly confused and didn't know what to do. I wanted to talk to someone, but I didn't know who to turn to.

Not James, that was for sure. He'd probably be as baffled as I was. I didn't have any female friends. Well, I had two if I let them get close to me. And, I didn't feel comfortable going to my aunt. I was in a pickle that was for sure. Bloody hell.

I heard the bell ring and stood up, gathering my books. Finally, lunch. I headed off in the direction of my locker, still lost in my thoughts. Maybe I should give in and talk to Alice and Rosalie. They were close to their boyfriends.

"Hmm…" I pondered, undoing my lock and opening my locker, putting my books in.

"Hmm, what?" A voice asked, causing me to turn around, seeing Fig standing behind me.

"None of your effin' business Figgy." I told him, shutting the locker and putting the lock back in place.

"Oh…uh…yea. So I was…uh…wondering if you were…um…free tonight?" He finally managed to spit out, looking at the floor the entire time. Right. Like that was really going to get me to go out with him.

"No."

"Tomorrow?"

"No."

"Well, then Wednesday?"

"Look Fig-"

"Mike. My name is Mike."

"Whatever. Look Fig…" I paused seeing Edward coming towards me, a plan forming in my mind. "Look Fig, did you not get the memo last week that I wanted nothing to do with you?"

"I figured you were having a bad day, being your first day and all." He had the guts to smile at me while he said that.

He thought I'd been having a bad day? Was he effin' stupid? I was new, it was my first bloody day and that made it a bloody bad day? Where the effin' hell was his head? Up his ass it seemed like.

Edward was leaning against the locker next to mine. Time to put said plan into action. Pasting a smile on my face and making sure my voice was sickening sweet, I told Fig, "Look, dipshit. I'll make this perfectly effin' clear to you. Kay? I bloody hell don't want to go out with you. Not tonight, not tomorrow. Not any bloody time within your life. I would rather go to hell and fuck the devil than have anything to do with your shit face low-life self. Bye-bye!"

I ignored Fig's look of astonishment, turning to face Edward who growled, "Isabella."

I smiled and asked, "Yes?"

His lips crashed onto mine, his hand going to the back of my neck, squeezing slightly again. I gave in to my desire and wrapped my arms around his neck, pressing up against him. This played to get rid of Fig and let me kiss Edward without having to admit a thing to my emotions.

He seemed surprised at first, but quickly recovered, wrapping his other arm around my waist and pulling me close. He licked my bottom lip and I opened my mouth for him, feeling his tongue sweep in. It was beyond heaven. I had fucking died. I slumped against him, happy to let him dominate. I rubbed my tongue against his for a moment. He tasted like chocolate. Not literally, figuratively.

I ran my hands into his hair, which felt like silk, just as he pulled back from me. I panted, staring up at him. "Fuck."

I earned another kiss for that before he replied, "I think that sums it up."

He let me go and I leaned against my locker, looking back towards where Fig had been standing, seeing he was gone. I turned towards Emmett, "How come Fig didn't get thrown out with the rest of the disgusting things?"

"I guess they missed that package," he replied in all seriousness.

"I don't think they missed it. I think the bag had a hole in it and he slipped through." I said, trying not to laugh and not succeeding. I chuckled for a moment before laughing out loud.

"Is she ill?" Alice asked, causing me to laugh harder. Why was I fighting them as friends? Emmett played right along with my antics. James did too, but he wasn't nearly as fun as Emmett.

"No. I just…" I looked down, self-conscious. "I just haven't had something to laugh over like that in a long while."

"You should laugh more often." Edward commented. "I'm hungry. Let's get food."

I followed behind, biting my bottom lip. I was even more confused after that kiss. The jolt that I felt every time he touched me and gone through my entire body, lighting it on fire. And, I'd felt like I'd come home. Like I was safe. It had felt so right.

Shit, if that was what kissing him felt like, I was damn well going to make sure I kept swearing. I'd just have to make sure I kissed him back when he kissed me. I caved. I was going to have to take to Alice and Rosalie and figure out what the hell I was feeling.

EPOV

Fuck. Honestly, what more could I say? Kissing her was incredible when she wasn't kissing back, but to have her kissing me, well, that was mind boggling. Though, that lead to the question of why she'd done it. She'd been trying so hard to avoid kissing me.

Could she have been playing a game? I'd seen her glance my way as I walked towards her and it wasn't until I was standing behind her that she started swearing. Had it been for Newton's benefit to get him to leave her alone? With what I'd seen of her so far, that did make sense.

But hell, her kissing me back only made me want to kiss her more.

"Edward? You goin' to class, man?" Emmett's voice cut through my thoughts.

"Oh, yea." I said getting up, having not realized that lunch had ended. I had biology with her next. Maybe I'd play her game back at her. I did have eight random kisses left to get.

Walking into the room, I saw her sitting at our table already. Smiling, I walked over to her, setting down my stuff and sitting. The teacher wasn't in yet, so I wrapped my hand around the back of her neck, watching her look at me in surprise. Before she could do anything, I pressed my lips against hers, moving slowly, before licking her bottom lip and pulling away.

She stared at me wide-eyed for a moment before glaring and crossing her arms across her chest, ignoring the whistles and cat calls. I smirked and looked towards the front of the class as Mr. Banner started talking.

Pulling out a piece of paper I wrote What was with Newton?

Not looking her way, I pushed it over the table to here, watching her read it out of the corner of my eyes. I put my finger tips on the page when she pushed it back towards me.

Figgy? Nothing.

Didn't seem like nothing to me.

Well, it was.

You've been doing your best to avoid kissing me.

Yea, so?

Your little tirade earned you quite the kiss.

Ugh! Alright! I'm hoping he'll leave me the fuckin' hell alone now.

You owe me two kisses.

What? Shit.

Three.

I chuckled softly as she crumbled up the notes and huffed. She ignored me the rest of the class, hurrying out after the bell rang. I smirked watching her retreating form. I knew she was trying to avoid paying up for a little bit and after that mind blowing kiss earlier, I let it pass.

I caught up with her after school as she was walking towards Emmett's jeep. "Isabella!"

She stopped, turning around to look at me, raising an eyebrow. I walked up to her, putting my hand around her neck and kissing her once more. I felt her stiffen for a moment, relaxing a second before I released her, whispering against her lips, "Payment for the three in class."

"You coming over Edward?" Emmett asked, clapping me on the shoulder as he walked towards his jeep.

"Of course." I responded climbing in my Volvo. "Wouldn't dream of not going."

Shutting the door, I started the car before backing up and pulling out of the parking lot. I pondered on Isabella's attitude. She'd been rather good at not swearing over the weekend, so her tirade against Newton was a little shocking. And, it seemed as if she'd done it purposely around me.

Her little slip up in biology surprised me as well. It made me curious to know if swearing was a natural part of her or if she did it intentionally. Ah, hell. Whatever the reason for doing it, she had me intrigued. There was something about her that called to me.

Pulling into Emmett's driveway, I parked and shut of the car, sitting and thinking for a bit. I still had, seven, more random kisses to claim from her. When I was going to do that I didn't know. Sighing, I got out and headed inside. Wondering what I was going to do about Isabella.
