A/N: This is probably the shortest chapter, but its only because I split one chapter into half as I don't have enough time to update. Coursework people!

So this is for my reviewers who really wanted an update, keep those reviews coming in, they are like my fuel! Thankies xoxox

I took a staggered step back – the shock of the words physically kicked me. I was a 100& sure my face twisted into a distorted grimace.

"I'm…err…sorry, I shouldn't have" I apologised whilst awkwardly staring at my feet.

"Aww Edward! Not like that! You've got all my snot on your face, you'll get sick!" She croaked out.

So it was the snot? As disgusting as it was, I'd already kissed her so, it couldn't get much worse. And anyway, I didn't even notice the snot until she pointed it out. How stupid must I look?

"So it's not that you don't like me?" I asked sceptically.

She didn't reply, instead she stepped forward and pressed her lips to mine, lingering there.

"If you get a cold, not my fault, buddy" she whispered against my lips.

I stepped back, smiling.

"So does that give you your answer?" she teased.

"Yes, it does" I grinned.

"You know I have Chinese, enough for two. Care to join me?" Bella offered.

"Yes please" I replied, wanting to spend every moment with Bella.

We brought the boxes out into the burgundy living room and got settled down on the sofa, with background music from the television to soothe the atmosphere.

Our conversation was light hearted and we were really getting to know the finer things about each other, which would usually be of no importance, but I was keen on knowing everything. By the end, I knew that Bella preferred Colgate toothpaste and her favourite colour was green, at which she blushed.

"Why are you blushing?" I asked, curious.

Bella bit her lip, a sign of hesitation, but soon she gave in, "It's the colour of your eyes."

I smiled the brightest smile possible; that was the nicest thing anyone has ever said, not even the "Oh my God! He is so hot!" could have beaten that.

I leaned in and gave her a kiss that displayed all my emotions; hot and passionate. I tangled my fingers in her hair while she traced all my features with her soft hand. She ended up straddling me and things got pretty intense.

THUD!

I froze and Bella jerked up and fell onto the floor. I didn't know what to do – laugh at her bewildered state or check if she was okay.

So I did both.

"Now a day just wouldn't be a day without you falling or tripping would it?" I teased, while giving her a final look to see if all bones were intact.

"What it buddy" she slapped my arm in mock annoyance. Why was everyone hitting me? First Jasper, then Alice and now Bella. What was I, a walking punch bag?

"What was that?" I asked, knowing Bella landing smack on the floor wasn't the only noise.

THUD!

Bella cowered into me; the thrill of the touch made me high.

"I don't know, I'm scared Edward!" Bella whispered.

I carefully manoeuvred us towards the source of the sound which was near the door. "Stay here, I'll go and check." I ordered.

"No way" I am not losing you to that thing out there!" she yelled, but her voice came out very raspy. She was swaying on her feet; the flu was really getting to her.

"You look like a fungal zombie! You need to rest" I insisted.

"Oh quit being such a wuss!" she throttled out in a hoarse voice while pulling me out the front door. I was rather insulted; a wuss? She needs to check out my abs.

I snaked my arm around her waist and towed her to the driveway.

A white thing [as Bella had put it] came flying out of the bush on the opposite side of the street and crashed onto the main window of Bella's house. My eyes flickered to the window to see dozens of…eggs splattered on it.

"At least they weren't bombs" Bella breathed a sigh of relief.

"Bombs?! You would be dead by now!" I gave her an are-you-stupid look.

"Just speculating" She shrugged, and ignored my remark.

Suddenly, the bush started rustling and muffled voices were heard.

My eyes widened.
