BELLA'S POV
"Hi. Can I please speak to Jacob? It's Bella."
I was in Edward's living room, waiting for him to get the video games ready.
"Hey, Bella. Here's Jake." Billy said into the phone.
"Hey Bells. What's up?" I heard Jacob's voice say.
"Er…Jake, I…I'm so sorry. I can't make it tonight. Apparently, there's gonna be a storm. Sorry Jake. Maybe we could do something this weekend or…" I trailed off. I felt kind of guilty because instead of having dinner at my boyfriend's house, I'm spending the night at Edward's.
"Oh. Well, I guess it's okay. I mean, we could always do something tomorrow, after school. Right?" he replied.
"Er, I've got dress shopping tomorrow with Alice and Rose. What about this Saturday? We could catch a movie or something."
"Sure, sure. Have to go now, Bye Bella. Love you." He said. I could hear Billy calling him. I guess it means that the game has started.
"Love you too Jake. Bye." I said, hanging up.
"So, how'd he take it?" Edward said, coming down the stairs holding a big box.
"He took it well. What's in the box?" I said, standing up and helping him.
"DVDs. Emmett and Jasper borrowed all my video games. Sorry, I forgot." He said with a chuckle as we carefully put the box down.
"They borrowed all twenty-five of them?"
"Yeah. It's game night, Bella." He said, pushing the box towards me.
"Game night? If it's game night then why are you still here? You love game night." I said, trying to choose a DVD.
"Because you're here."
My cheeks suddenly reddened. Why oh why did Edward have to be like this?
"Edward…..I…..um, what about this movie?" I said, taking out a random DVD.
"Okay Bella." He said, sighing and taking the DVD from me. He put it in the DVD player and hit play.
"I'll go get some soda." I said, getting up and walking to the kitchen.
I opened the fridge and grabbed two sodas.
I decided to get some popcorn, too.
I opened the cupboard and grabbed the packet of buttered popcorn. A piece of paper fell down with it, too.
I picked it up and opened it.
It was a note from Emmett. Hmm, apparently he and Edward were note-passing in class. It seemed like they wrote it a few days ago because the paper seemed crumpled and dirty.
Hey, Edward. So, what's the plan for the big confession to Bella? –Em.
I don't really know yet. But all I know is that I want it to be special. –Edward
So you really love her huh? You know, I used to have a crush on her when I was what, 11? -Em
Shut up Emmett. And yes, I really do love her. Hey, I'll talk to you at lunch okay? I think Ms. Jameson is getting suspicious. -Edward
"Hey, Bella? You done yet?" I heard Edward say.
"Yeah, coming!" I said, quickly folding the piece of paper and returning it along with the popcorn. I suddenly didn't want popcorn anymore.
My hands were shaking when I came back to the room.
"Hey, what took you so long?" Edward said, chuckling.
"Er…I was just um, getting some popcorn. But I decided not to anymore. Sorry." I said, still in shock.
Edward really loves me.
"Oh okay then." He said, getting the remote.
I sat down beside him and silently gave him his coke.
Half way through the movie, we were silent. This was unusual because usually, we laugh and joke around about what's gonna happen next.
Maybe because the freaking movie was about two best friends falling in love with each other.
Hm, note to self: NEVER pick a movie randomly.
We ended the movie in silence. Edward silently stood up and silently put the DVD back in its case while I silently waited on the couch.
I do not like the freaking silence.
Edward sat down back beside me.
I sighed.
"…You read it, didn't you?" he said quietly.
I sighed once more. "Yes." I whispered.
"Bella I-
My body suddenly willed me to kiss him.
And I did.
I leaned in and took his face in between my hands and kissed him.
He was surprised at first, but then he shook it off and kissed me back. His hands were intertwined in my hair and my hands were on his waist. He lay down on the sofa while kissing me and pulled me on top of him. I kept kissing him passionately and so did he.
Thank God his parents weren't home.
Suddenly, he pulled away.
"Bella. I love you. I love you so much it consumes me." He whispered.
A tear ran down my cheek.
"Edward…I'm sorry. I have a boyfriend."
Why did you say that, Bella?
CRAP.
