I closed the door behind him and leaned against it. My mind was reeling, and I pinched myself just to be sure that this wasn't all a dream. When I was fully satisfied that I was indeed awake I made my way upstairs. I grabbed my bathroom bag and headed to the bathroom. Taking my time I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and got changed into a pair of ratty old sweats and a tank. When I was finished I headed back into my room. I turned on the lamp on my beside table and flicked the TV off. I grabbed my battered copy of Wuthering Heights and snuggled down on my bed.

I tried to read, but my mind was simply uncooperative. All I could think about was Edward. The way the tension, that seemed so strong mere hours ago, had all but evaporated between us. The way he looked at me, the way we seemed to fit together. The way he smiled, and the way he kissed me. What it all came down to, and what my mind was trying to process, was that I was pretty sure I was in love with him. There was no other explanation for it, I'd had crushes before, but never had I ever felt this way about anyone in my entire life. That was it then, I was in love with Edward Cullen. And it was to thoughts of him that I eventually fell asleep.

As I walked down the driveway I heard Bella gently shut the door behind me. It was still raining a bit as I walked to my car, but honestly that was the furthest thing from important right now. It felt as though I was dreaming as I started my Volvo. I pinched my arm, making sure I really was awake before I started driving.. Ultimately I knew that nothing I could ever have dreampt up could have been anything close to as good as tonight, but better to be safe then sorry.

As I drove home, my mind was replaying the last couple of hours. Everything seemed to good to be true. The way she looked up at me through her long lashes, those beautiful deep chocolate brown eyes, the amazing shade of red that flushed her cheeks, even the smell of her hair was vivid. It was as if all these things had been etched into my brain, with skill and percision ensuring that there was no way I would ever forget, and I was gratefull. I tried to focus on the road, but it was all but impossible. Somehow I managed to make it home in one piece, and as I pulled into our driveway my mind came to a conclusion. Something that I was not expecting mere hours ago. I was in love with Bella, everything about her grabbed me and pulled me to her, like a shark to blood.

As I got out of the car I was met with a new problem. Emmett. He was sure to demand to know where I had been. He was an awsome brother, but he was to nosy for his own good. He knew I was never the partier, knew about my love life, or lack thereof until tonight. Basically he knew everything about me, right down to my daily habits. It wasn't usually that big a deal, but when there was something that I really didnlt want to tell him, he always knew, and become the most annoying person that had ever lived. He and Alice were so much alike in their mindsets that I sometimes wondered if I was adopted. Though physically they were polar opposites, they both had the uncanny ability to make you spill your guts, even when you would rather not. I on the other hand didn't have a fascination for being in everybody elses business.

I walked into the house being as quiet as possible. It was just about midnight and I was praying that they would both be in their rooms, maybe doing something loud enough that they would not hear me come in. Carlisle and Esme had taken a weekend trip somewhere, not that I really had to worry much about them anyway. Sure we were teenagers but we weren't the insanely irresponsible type and they never had a problem leaving us to ourselves. I walked into the living room and so far the coast was clear. I made my way silently up the stairs and just as I was about to close my door behind me, Emmett came booming into the room.

"Hey Eddie" he said, making himself at home, flopping down on my bed "Where ya been bro?"

"Just out" I said cooly, hoping that i sounded off hand

"Where?" he asked, eyeing me curiously

"Well, first I drove to Port Angeles, went to a few stores, didn't find anything all that interesting, and took the long way back." I said, suprising myself with how quickly the lies were able to flow.

"Thats lame" he said, apparently satisfied with my story

"What'd you do?" I asked, happy that he was so easy to fool.

"Hung out at Rose's house," he said with a smile "Parents went out of ton for the weekend"

"And how did that go?" I asked, not because I really wanted to know, but it was better to keep him talking so he didn't have a chance to think too much.

He laughed and smirked "How do you think it went...I already said her parents were out of town"

He put his first up and I bumped it "Nice bro"

"You know Edward, you'd enjoy life a lot more if you just went out one night nd got laid" he said seriously. That was just like Emmett, no tack and never afraid to give you advice on things that were really none of his business.

"Yeah yeah" I said, trying to keep my tone even.

"Whatever" he said "See ya later bro"

And with that he left the room and I was exceptionally grateful. I hated keeping stuff, even personal stuff, from Emmett, just as much as Bella hated keeping things from Alice. I threw on a pair of trackpants and flopped down on my bed. I tried to clear my head, but Bella invaded even my best efforts. The more I thought about here, the stronger my resolve became. I'd have to talk to her, but I wanted Bella. Not only did I want her, but I wanted her to be my girlfriend, and I wanted other people to know it. I wanted to mark her as my own and let the entire school know that she belonged to me.
