Oh man oh man. It has been a long time since I last updated. SORRY!
So, I kinda just decided to go crazy with this chapter, let me know if you liked it or not.
"Jacob" Bella finished
Edward smiled and stuck his hand out, looking almost too nice.
Jacob hesitated but firmly shook Edward's hand.
"You ready to go for our walk?" Edward asked placing his hand on the small of Bella's back. She shivered, but it wasn't one of those "I'm cold" shivers. It was better. WAY better.
"Yeah," She started walking away with Edward, "It was nice to meet you Jacob" she threw over her shoulder.
She kind of felt bad because…well, she didn't know why she felt bad, but none the less, her conscience was kicking in telling her she should have been a little nicer. On the other hand, she was feeling the best she had felt in a long time. Being with Edward, his had placed protectively on the small of her back felt right. Too right. She smiled to herself, wanting to get to know Edward's touch even better.
She glanced at Edward, his eyes trained on the street ahead, she could see the wheels turning in his head.
"Hey," she whispered smiling at him.
His shoulders relaxed a little, and his touch became a little less possessive and a little more tender.
"Hey," he said with a look that made all the air rush out of her lungs.
"Um, thanks for that, I don't know what he was up to," Bella started to say.
"I know,"
"What?"
"I know what he was up to,"
She gaped at him.
Edward continued, "He was throwing off vibes that just made me…" he growled, "made me want to punch him in the face."
"Pfft," Bella gasped between giggles, "what?!"
"I do not think it is funny Bella." He said her name in a way that made her quiet down immediately and made her almost regret her fit of laughter.
"W-why did you want to," Bella made air quotes, "'want to punch him in the face'?"
Edward's eyes narrowed.
Bella's smile started to vanish.
"Because," he thought for a moment, "never mind."
No way was he getting out of this that easily Bella thought to herself.
"Edward, " she said his name sternly, "why?" She stopped walking, and grabbed his arm so they were now standing in the middle of an alley just looking at each other.
Edward's eyes flared.
"Edward," Bella started again.
Next thing she knew, she was pressed up against the alley wall, incredibly aware of Edward's body pressing against her own.
She felt his breath on her neck, and could hear his breathing had become sharp.
"Because, I have been wanting to do this since I met you," he whispered in her ear.
Next thing she knew, she felt his luscious lips press against her own. She heard a moan come from Edward as he slid his hands up and down her waist.
He had only meant for a quick peck, just to relieve this urge he had been harboring since he first saw Bella on the bus, but now, for some strange reason he just couldn't stop. He traced his tongue along her lower lip, and he felt her shudder. Oh God, there was no way he could stop, but he had to.
Why had he been so stupid?
Edward Cullen didn't just go around kissing girls he barely knew.
But this just wasn't any girl. This was Bella.
The kiss stopped abruptly, leaving Bella wanting more. She was panting, short of breath from the mesmerizing kiss.
She couldn't feel Edward against her anymore, so she opened her eyes, seeing Edward standing several feet away, raking his hand through his hair.
"What…was that?" Bella asked Edward, leaning up against the alley wall for support. She didn't trust her legs as of right now.
"I…I am sorry. I really shouldn't have done that." Edward said, avoiding her eyes.
Bella could feel her face drop, and the heat that had risen in her cheeks was now gone, probably replaced with a green that matched the sickness she was feeling.
Did he really regret the kiss?
Bella's vision swam as the tears overwhelmed her eyes.
Am I really crying?
She tried to hide the fact, embarrassed that tears were now rolling down her cheeks. She had no reason to cry. Why should she? She barely knew Edward. She should take it as a great kiss that might never happen again. But she wasn't crying about the kiss. She was crying about the fact that Edward regretted the kiss.
"I-I am sorry," Bella stammered, "I should go." She started to walk down the alley, in the opposite direction of the hotel, but away from Edward.
"Bella, wait!" He called after her.
She just kept walking.
He groaned to himself.
"Bella!" He ran after her.
When he caught up, he grabbed her hand and spun her around to face him.
Oh my god. She is crying. What did I do?!
"Bella," Edward brought his hands up, cupping her face, wiping away her tears with his thumbs, "oh Bella." He looked into those gorgeous eyes, wondering why the hell he would have hurt her.
Her eyes glistened, staring at him, begging him to kiss her again. Somehow, that would make her believe he didn't regret the kiss.
She shut her eyes, trying to will away the tears still forming behind her lids.
She felt something soft press against her cheek, something warm.
She opened her eyes, and almost melted.
Edward was kissing her tears, and he was slowly moving down to her lips.
Bella pushed him away.
"Bella," Edward said reaching for her.
"No," Bella shut her eyes and took a deep breath, "just, no."
It was like he had just been slapped across the face.
"Bella," he said as calmly as he could, his voice shaking, "Bella, what are you doing to me?"
"What are you talking about?" she said through gritted teeth.
What was she doing to him? Bella wanted to scream.
"I'm not the one who regretted the kiss," she spat, starting to turn away from Edward.
"Are you saying I do?" That stopped Bella dead in her tracks.
She turned to face him again, taking two steps closer, closing the gap between them.
"Yes. I. Am." Bella said, leaving only inches between their faces.
What happened next surprised Bella, but it was exactly what she wanted.
So? Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
Thanks for sticking with the story even if it has been forever!
