Thank you for the reviews.


Chapter nine.

"You ok?" asked Edward randomly chucking the shirt over his shoulder. He moved back to his position between my knees.

"Fine", I squeaked. Friends. We were just friends. Nothing more.

"What were you saying before?"

"Oh, I was just asking what you thought", I said scrutinizing the honey bottle. My eyes scanned the ingredients section. I couldn't look at him. Just friends. Nothing more.

"I don't mind tongue rings either", he whispered.

"Oh…that's…"

"What?"

"That's not what I meant", I said looking up again, "I was talking about the… moving thing."

"Ok, well why would you wanna buy an apartment?" said Edward staring straight into my eyes. I looked back down. His beautiful green eyes were too hypnotic. I would do something I might regret.

"Because I don't' want to live with my parent anymore", I told him.

"Yea, but…I mean, why don't you just move in with me? I've got a spare room and hey, I don't mind a roommate. Especially if it's you."

I froze.

Did Edward just ask me to move in with him? In his apartment?

The refuge. Move in with him, my best friend…

"I don't' think I want honey in my tea anymore", I shrugged, "there's a lot of carbohydrates in there, did you know that?"

"No, I guess I didn't", answered Edward moving closer still. I stared at the honey bottle harder. He was too close. Much too close.

"And loads…loads of…um, sugar…" I whispered, swallowing loudly.

"Bella?"

"Mmm?"

"Why are we talking about honey?" asked Edward. I stared up at him.

"Because…um, I don't know…" I admitted. My eyes flicked at his lips. Soft… imagine Edward's lips on mine. My hands in his supple hair.

"So, I just asked you to move in with me and you wanted to talk about honey?" he asked again.

"No, I just…I mean, I didn't get why you would want me to live with you", I explained avoiding the sight of his lips. That was really hard since he was so close.

"Or maybe it's cos you don't want to live with me", Edward offered. I shook my head.

"Of course I'd love to live with you, Edward", I told him, "Honestly, I would. I mean, I love you and…wait, I meant…I didn't I love love you, I just…"

"I love you too."

He pulled the bottle of honey out of my grasp and sat it down.

Then his lips were on mine.
