" Oh my god. You, Bella Swan, were kissed, or you got laid! You are so totally glowing!" Jess shouted.

" Shhh, keep it down!"

" Tell me everything!"

" I went out on a date with Edward last night."

" Edward Masen?"

I bit my lip and nodded as Jess squealed like a teenager at Britney Spears concert. I had no idea why she was so surprised, but I guess maybe I could in a way. Edward has only been here for just over a week, well, he'd been here longer, but that was when he started school. It was pretty insane, and I couldn't get over it myself.

Thinking about last night made goose bumps spread over my skin and I thought back to the kiss he'd given me. It was perfect. Almost too perfect.

" Oh my god! Why didn't you tell me?"

" I didn't want to say anything before something was even made out of it. I was of course going to tell you down the line...But last night was fucking awesome."

" Did you do it?"

" No! But damn did he kiss me when he dropped me off..." I sighed, trailing off.

" Oh, I bet it was dreamy...What'd you guys do?"

" Well, he picked me up and we went to this place in Port Angeles called La Bella Italia. When we finished with dinner we went back to his house to watch a movie, and ate marshmallow popcorn; which is fucking awesome by the way."

" Aw, that's sweet. Why didn't you guys go out to a movie or something. Need more privacy to make out?"

" There wasn't any good movies playing at the right times, smartass. And we didn't make out, but we fell asleep in his bed during the movie. It was just fantastic, everything was. He's...he's honestly great, Jess. I can't believe it sometimes.

" And so incredibly sexy! Do the lip rings get in the way? Oooh! the tongue ring?"

" They add to the fun." I teased, smiling.

" Aw, I'd be so jealous if I wasn't so happy for you!"

I rolled my eyes at her and grabbed my car keys from my table.

" Let's go, Stanley. We can talk more in the car."

" I like this new happy Bella Swan."

" I do, too."

Jess shut my bedroom door and followed down behind me. I felt her tug on my ponytail and I jogged down the stairs; I turned back and glared at her, and suddenly ran into a hard body. A familiar hard body. I looked up and saw Edward standing there, looking surprised that I had run into him.

" Hey, what're you doing here?" I asked, sounding breathless.

" Alice was making me drop her off, but I also wanted to ask you something."

We made a move to step outside, and I saw Jess wink at me as she followed not so closely behind us. Edward and I walked down towards his car which was parked on the curb, and Jess waited by my car, leaning against it and staring at her phone. I was curious as to what Edward had to say to me, and kind of anxious to hear it.

The air was already getting warm and sticky, but it's almost May so it's not entirely too weird, but luckily it wasn't raining; at least not yet. I had on a pair of dark wash denim shorts, and a strapless dark orange shirt that clung to my chest and flowed out. I finished the outfit with black flip flops.

" Hey."

" Hi." I replied, smiling brightly at him.

" I was thinking tomorrow I could steal you for lunch?" he asked.

" Uhm, yeah, that'd be great. Where should I meet you?"

" I'll pick you up, okay? Be ready at around eleven."

" Okay, I'll see you then."

" Alright, enjoy your day."

" You, too."

Before I walked away, Edward grasped my hand and used his other free hand to tip my face up. He kissed me softly, no hesitance in the movement of his lips on mine. I grasped the short hair on his neck and tried to deepen the kiss, but he pulled away from me before I could.

" I'll see you tomorrow." he murmured, kissing the side of my mouth over my lip ring.

I stumbled back and he caught me, chuckling quietly and holding me against him.

" My clumsy girl." he murmured in my ear.

" I have to go." I told him regretfully, pulling away from him.

He nodded and brushed his hand through my hair, leaving me dizzy and in a haze all over again. Edward turned and headed away as I walked towards my car, unlocking the door on the drivers spot.

" Bye, Edward!" Jess shouted, smirking. I glared at her and shut the door

Edward gave a small wave in response to her and got into his car. Jess quickly got into the car on the other side and squealed so fucking loud it hurt my ears. I leaned back and groaned, waiting for the oncoming girly talk she was going to give me.

" Oh. My. God. You guys are so damn cute together! What did he tell you?"

" He wants to take me out to lunch tomorrow." I stated nonchalantly, when I was really just about dancing and squealing inside like Jess was just hearing about the news.

" Where?"

For a minute, I thought, but he never even told me where we were going. He seemed to be one for surprise, and while I honestly was never big on surprises, especially as a kid, I was really excited for it.

" He didn't say." I replied.

" We are buying you something cute! Let's go!"

~\\~

I didn't end up buying an entire outfit; I honestly didn't feel the need when I had an entire closet filled with tops, but I did find a pair of, what I consider cool but what Jess considers stupid, skinny jeans that are ripped up pretty wickedly. I was thinking I could wear a pair of sheer colored tights with them. I thought they were fucking bitchin', but apparently Jess has no taste. They were pretty dark wash, almost black, but not quite.

She went insane going into Forever 21 and bought a whole bunch of things that were on sale, ending up with about five tops and a pair of acid wash shorts and a white and black patterned skirt. Jess had always been a little girlier, while Angela was a bit earthier, and I was kind of rocker sheik.

I bought a bandeau top for a bright green and grey striped tank top I bought a short while ago. It came down a little low on the sides and I liked the bandeau top for it.

We stopped in at Victoria's Secret, of course. Every time I've ever really gone to the mall with Jess and Angela, we always end up in there. Angela not as often, but she's a bit more modest then Jess, who is completely fucking out there. I got a new dark purple lace bra and panty set, and the bra could go strapless. Jess flew through so much I could barely keep up with her, but her bag was bigger than mine.

We stopped out and had lunch at a cafe, getting sandwiches and salad at just a small place. We'd been here a few times before when we came out this way.

" So, I totally saw that kiss."

I rolled my eyes and took a bite of my salad, chewing and swallowing before I even answered her comment.

" Yeah, I bet."

" Aw, don't be embarrassed."

" I'm not! You know that I have absolutely no fucking shame when it comes to everything."

I took a sip of my strawberry lemonade and leaned back.

" Do you think it's going to last?" Jess asked.

I looked over at her, " I like him...Like, a lot more than I have any other guy. I mean, sure I've had my fair share of making out and fooling around with guys, but Edward just feels different. Something about him just isn't like those other horny teenage boys running around Forks High."

" Have you guys made it official?"

" Last night he asked me if I was 'his', and I told him yes. Does that mean official?"

Jess turned her head to the side. " I guess, but you should talk to him about it tomorrow. I mean, obviously I know you like him, but be careful. School ends this May, and he graduates. If he goes off to college or something, what's going to happen then?"

She gave me a lot to think about.

What would happen when he went off to college, assuming he would go? I still have a year of school left to finish up, and I'm not even eighteen yet. I was definitely hoping that I was going to be able to graduate early. That would mean maybe a few summer school courses, but I wanted to do it. This plan was even before Edward.

Did I really want to get into something that could end up a mess?

What if he realizes he doesn't want some seventeen year old girl, and he wants some blonde equally as beautiful as him that's in college. Someone who he'd probably be able to see more often than he could ever see me if he did go to college.

" Hey, I'm not trying to bring you down. I just totally do not want to see you crushed, Bella; you're my best friend and you wouldn't deserve that."

I nodded. " Yeah, I know."

" But let's not think about it, because if it does work out and he cares about you, it will all work out!"

" You're right."

We finished up eating our salad and sandwiches and headed back out to the truck.

I was plagued with many thoughts on the subject of futures.

Edward and I have been on one date. We haven't even kissed more than like four times. I needed to ask him what our relationship was, because I don't want to end up in a mess and confused as to what we are to each other.

I fell so hard for him I nearly crashed through the ground, and the feeling scared me. I didn't want him to leave. And I was stunned for how strong that feeling was. I couldn't grasp it. In just a few short days he meant more to me than a lot of other things.

I was utterly terrified of that.

~\\~

Jess stayed over that night. We dropped by her house and grabbed a bag of over night stuff and headed over to my house. We got there around six, and dinner was already on the table. Alice and Leah were talking in their own little world, and Jess and I just grabbed a few potato wedges that Sue made and headed upstairs.

With her bag tossed on the floor, Jess plopped down on my bed with the plate of potatoes on her stomach.

" I wish my mom could cook half as good as Sue."

I rolled my eyes, " I bet."

" Hey, you were over that night she made what she calls 'meat loaf' and 'mashed potatoes'. I know you were grimacing through the entire meal."

" Okay, yeah, but she made awesome double chocolate brownies."

" For sure." Jess agreed. " But they were out of a box."

We hung around my bedroom, talked, and did our nails. Typical girl things. Angela called me to talk about her date with Ben on Sunday, but I hadn't told her about my date with Edward. I figured maybe she could find out when we got back to school. I didn't want to be sitting on the phone gossiping about it.

Realizing that I had a shift tomorrow, I called in and asked for someone to cover for me. It was the first time ever that I had actually called in for someone to cover, and Charlotte was totally cool about it. I knew that I wasn't going to make a habit of it.

At around one Jess and I got some sleep. We shared my bed, like always, and slept on opposite sides. That's when the relentless teasing about Edward started.

" You talk in your sleep, and I swear to god if I hear one ' Oh god! Edward!' I am going to kill you."

" I wouldn't do that!"

" I bet you would Miss. He's so hot and sexy. And 'we cuddled it was so awesome'."

" Shut up!"

Jess giggled, " No way. You finally like a guy and I am going to tease you about it whenever I want."

I rolled over and sighed. Jess shifted on the opposite of the bed before laying still.

" I'm really happy to see you happy for once, Bella. You deserve it."

" Thanks, Jess."

Jess was like a sister to me, it didn't matter how much she teased me because it was harmless. She quickly fell asleep, breathing quietly next to me.

I fell asleep with a smile on my face, thinking of Edward; as always.

~\\~

" Bella, time to wake up sleeping beauty."

I groaned and rolled over, ignoring her. Her hand suddenly poked the back of my neck and I sat up and cringed, mumbling a small 'ow' under my breath. She knew that it would get me up in an instant.

" Well, it's nine thirty right now. I figure you could get me home by at least ten thirty. Then you can just chill for a bit before going out."

" Yeah, yeah. Ten more minutes." I groaned, laying back down in bed.

" Okay, lazy bones. I'm going to shower real quick, that okay?"

" Sure, don't use all my damn shampoo though."

She laughed, " Of course not, princess."

I rolled my eyes and laid back down, closing my eyes slowly. I stretched out and sighed, feeling myself slowly start to fall back asleep.

It felt like five minutes later, but Jess woke me up and was already dressed, hair and makeup done and ready for the day. She started the shower for me and basically shoved me in. It woke me up pretty well, and I cleaned up quickly.

Something inside of me felt different though. When I shaved my legs, I wanted to make sure that every single hair was gone, and when I washed my hair I scrubbed it twice as good. I scrubbed my body twice, and gave the conditioner time to silken my hair.

I wanted to genuinely look nice.

And not just for myself.

Because of Edward.

I did my hair in the bathroom, using a thicker barrel for bigger curls, and used a brown, and light tan eyeshadow for today, with thin liner. I finished my eyes off with a touch of mascara, and used an overall powder for my face. I used a very light pink NARS gloss for my lips. Last night I already had my outfit set out, so I knew what I was wearing.

I put on the light ivory strapless bra and panty set, and Jess tossed my skirt at me. It's a ruffled light, but still slightly dark, tan colored skirt. I tucked in a white tissue tank top that has a little bit of a print on the front and I finished it off with a leather, two strap belt that's a dark burnt orange. It was secured where I tucked the shirt inside, so it wasn't showing.

" Hey, where are my suede Louboutin's that match the skirt?" I asked, riffling through my closet.

Jess literally reached forward and pulled them out of my pile immediately, smiling.

" Perfect!"

I slipped the shoes on and Jess grabbed my six brass plated bangles that are an orange that match my belt. I grabbed my bronze clutch and tossed it on my bed. Jess insisted on body spray, and I went with it and used my usual raspberry one.

" You look awesome!"

I checked myself in the mirror and smiled. It was put together well, and I hoped Edward liked it.

We headed downstairs after I put everything I needed in my clutch.

" Where are you going?" Leah asked,

" Edward and I are having lunch this afternoon." I stated, sitting at the table.

Alice smirked, " You're going to love it."

My gaze snapped to hers, " You know?"

" Yes, I do. He's been walking around the house smiling for no reason for the past few days. I think it's the first time he's ever been like giddy happy."

I smiled and looked away, staring out the window. Jess chewed on bacon, munching and smiling.

" So, you still say you guys haven't had sex...But why is Edward Masen giddy?" Jess asked suggestively.

Alice and Leah's jaws dropped down to the table.

" Oh my god, Jess. For starters, there are little sixteen year olds at the table. And for another thing, whatever I do with Edward; is my business."

" You totally gave him a-"

" Shut up, Jess. Stop making assumptions." I stated, ending the conversation before it went any further.

She glared at me and Leah picked her jaw up from the table. Alice was sending me sideways smirks every few minutes.

At ten forty, Jess and I headed to her house to drop her off. She hugged me and thanked me for letting her crash at my house, and for yesterday. Agreeing to do it again soon, and promising to see each other at school, Jess headed into her house.

When I got back home it was only five minutes to eleven. I had stopped at Target to pick up a few things and immediately went home. James called me about hanging out tonight. I wasn't exactly sure because of Edward, but I told him maybe before just shooting him down.

Since it was nice outside, I waited for Edward. I smoked a quick cigarette and popped a few mints in my mouth. I was excited to see him again, even though I saw him yesterday, and the day before that, and technically, also the day before. He was just addicting in a way I couldn't ever explain or find words to express it.

As per usual, the familiar Volvo pulled up to the curb.

Instead of being the regular everyday jackass and honking the horn like any other guy would, he got out of the car to walk towards me. I met him halfway and he was looking up and down my body.

" You look beautiful today."

" You look great, too."

He smiled and took my hand, leading me to the car. Edward opened up the passenger seat door, and I sat down. He didn't close the door, and I turned towards him, sitting sideways in the seat. Edward moved my legs apart and stood between them. My skirt rode up slightly and I felt his hand moving up my thigh.

" This skirt is going to drive me insane." He breathed

I leaned forward and reached my arms out to wrap around his neck. Edward's lips crashed on mine and I fervently moved my lips against his, wanting more and more. His head tilted to the side to deepen the kiss and I felt his tongue against mine. Metal touched my tongue, tangled with it, and more metal pressed against my lips. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. My body was lit on fire and I felt my lips tingle slightly.

" Ready to go?" he murmured against my lips.

" Mhm." I hummed, pulling away from him completely.

He kissed my cheek softly and I sat properly in the seat. Edward shut the door for me and got into the car himself, starting it up and hearing it purr quietly. He didn't say anything, all he did was take my hand and take off.

~\\~

We were at his house, and I looked over at him, wondering why he had kept the destination such a secret if it was here. Edward didn't even answer my questioning look. We got out of the car and Edward started taking me around the house.

I followed him to the back, through at least a half mile of the woods I heard water, and we came up to a stream. Water tumbling over rocks and spilling down over them. It was beautiful, and I had also noticed the red blanket laid down on the ground with a basket in the middle it.

" Wow."

" Do you like it?"

" It's perfect."

He sat down on the blanket and I did the same, being mindful of my skirt. Edward smiled at me and stretched his legs out, placing the basket next to him. He took out two cokes, which were in the fancy original glass bottles. I laughed quietly and picked one up.

" These are so fucking old."

" I know. I found them at the store, so I just figured it would be cool."

He took out neat containers; there were three of them, two of them bigger, one smaller.

" How do you feel about chicken, bacon and mozzarella together."

" I think that it sounds absolutely divine."

" Good."

Edward opened up a container, which inside had two sandwiches that were wrapped in plastic wrap. They were Panini's, and they looked amazing. Edward took them out and opened up the next two containers, one was an assorted fruit salad, and the other a regular romaine lettuce salad with feta, hardboiled egg, cucumber and onions, with Italian dressing.

" This looks amazing."

" Ah, this isn't all."

He took out another container and took off the lid.

" Mascarpone Mini Cupcake's, and a Strawberry Glaze."

My mouth watered.

Then he put the lid over the container and put it away. I pouted and he smiled at me, sliding a sandwich over to me.

" So, who made this? I know it's not you."

" Hm, good question."

I took a bite and almost moaned. Fuck. It was delicious.

" Keep moaning like that and I won't stop feeding you,"

I blushed and took my time chewing and swallowing the delicious sandwich. I basically devoured the entire thing, unable to put it down. I don't think I've ever even had one that good in my entire life. Edward also finished his off when I was done with mine and he smiled upon seeing the satisfaction on my face.

" That was phenomenal."

" My mother prepared all of this for me."

" Well, you have to thank her for doing all of this. It's honestly amazing, Edward."

" I'm glad you like it."

" It's not just that...You're just...amazing."

" Amazing?"

" Yeah, you are."

" Thanks." he said awkwardly.

I moved closer towards him and he watched me closely. When I leaned into his side, almost immediately his arm wrapped around my waist. He set the regular salad on his lap and handed me a fork.

" Mind sharing?"

" I sure do." I teased him, clanking his fork with mine.

We ate between the regular and fruit salad until it was basically gone, and I was full. I knew I still had some room for those mini cupcakes though, they looked absolutely divine and there were five in there.

As I took large gulps of the coke Edward took the container out, putting the empty ones back in the basket. He took out a mini cupcake, took off the paper cupcake wrapper and held it towards my mouth. I ate half of it in one bite and felt the gooey frosting on my upper lip. Before I could even finish the half, Edward playfully shoved the rest in my mouth. I chewed, swallowed and before I could even get to the strawberry icing on my upper lip, Edward sucked it into his mouth and moaned.

When he pulled away he licked his lips. " Good icing."

I hummed quietly at him.

With the basket pushed aside and the cupcakes not in the way, everything else ceased to exist. Edward's hand caressed my upper thigh, but he never took it further besides those touches. His lips against mine were soft, but also urgent at the same time. He tasted like the strawberry icing, and it was delicious.

I groaned against his lips when his other hand moved up my waist and along my curves, and I felt the hand on my thigh squeeze my flesh. A wave of lust and want suddenly crashed over me, overwhelming and overpowering. I ran my tongue over his bottom lip before taking it between my lips and flicking his lip rings with my tongue. Edward moaned deeply and he shifted himself above me, moving his hips away from mine.

His arm wrapped around my waist, his hand warm even through the material of my shirt. I felt like I was on a little euphoric cloud, floating about peacefully. I tangled my hand in his hair, tugging in the stands; which he seemed to enjoy thoroughly.

" We have to stop." Edward ground out, pulling away.

My chest heaved wildly, trying to get in as many breaths as I could. Edward sat up and ran his hands through his hair. I smoothed my skirt down and ran my own fingers through my hair.

" I got letters in the mail from college's I applied to."

I glanced up at him, surprised at his sudden outburst of words.

" I haven't looked at them yet." He said regretfully, looking at me with those piercing green eyes.

" Why not?"

" I'm not sure." he replied.

" You should open them." I encouraged, closing the cupcake container and putting it in the basket.

" Your hair is a mess." Edward said, chuckling quietly as he fixed it for me.

" Thanks to you."

" Most definitely,"

Once my hair was fixed, Edward just laid back down and I rested my head on his chest, feeling his fingers run through my hair, loosening up my curls. I put my hand on his stomach over his shirt, keeping it still for the most part.

The silence was also comforting, and lying in Edward's arms made me feel warm and secure, like nothing in the world could ever hurt me with him here. I hoped that it would always feel like this. Every once in awhile he would kiss the top of my head and squeeze me tighter.

" I care about you so much." he murmured.

" Yeah?"

" Yes."

" I care about you, too."

" I don't know what it is about you that makes you so alluring. You're charming in the cutest way."

I blushed, " Charming?"

" Very much so."

At around three thirty Edward and I got up and I folded the blanket for him. He insisted on carrying the blanket and the basket, so I didn't bother to argue with him. When we headed to his house, he walked in through the side door, leading me through a very organized garage. There was a silver M3 convertible parked, and also a sleek yellow Porsche, which apparently belonged to Alice for when she got her license this summer.

Edward opened up the door to the house, and we were in a laundry room, and passing into the kitchen. His mother Esme was there, and appeared to be starting dinner. When she saw me a big smile broke out on her face.

" Bella, it's so very nice to see you again!"

" Thank you, and also thanks so much for all of the food; all of it was absolutely divine."

" You're very welcome. I couldn't let that kid over there make it, unless you actually don't want to eat." she teased as Edward scowled at her.

I laughed and threaded my fingers through Edward's. Just then I heard a little click sound, and Esme looked over in the direction of the laundry room.

" That's another load finished. Excuse me."

She fled from the room, still wearing that radiant smile on her face.

" I like your mom." I told him, leaning against the counter.

He smiled, " Yeah, she is quite the character."

" Oh, don't like to be teased about your lack of culinary skills?"

" I can make it up by other talents." he said suggestively, resting his hands on my hips.

" Is that so?"

" Mhm." he hummed before pressing his lips softly to mine.

" Hey, Edward, who are you making out with?"

We parted quickly and suddenly I heard something between a gasp and a snort.

" Isabella Swan? Really, Edward? Couldn't do any better? I totally set you up with Tanya, you guys were perfect." Rosalie Hale stated with a laugh.

" Tanya Denali? She's a bitch and she's fake, Rosalie. No wonder you both get along so well." Edward sneered.

" As I've said before; Bella is the most butch girl in the fucking school. Surprising you even own a skirt, Swan."

" Rather be the most butch girl in school than a slut with fake boobs." I retorted.

Emmett just kind of stood there, almost like he expected it and didn't even really care how things were turning out. I wouldn't be surprised if he was sick of her attitude, too. Rosalie just stood there with a dumbfounded look on her face.

" Fake? Whoa, babe, you never told me that." Emmett commented.

Rosalie went red in the face and she glared hard at me. Edward was trying to hide his laughs behind his hand, and I just stared at her with a satisfied look on my face.

" And Bella doesn't really look butch, Rose, just saying'. I mean, if I didn't love you I'd tap that." Emmett finished off, giving me a grin.

Yeah, he was officially one of my hero's in that moment.

" Shut up, Emmett!" she yelled.

" You can't control people, Rosalie. Oh, and the red color on your face seems to match your personality; just get some horns to go with it next time."

Edward grabbed my hand and trailed me along with him. I brushed my shoulder past Rosalie's and followed Edward down to the foyer and upstairs. Once we were in the hallway he started laughing. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him.

" What is so funny?" I asked.

" You're fucking amazing." he stated, taking me by surprise and lifting me up in his arms. His hands held me up by my thighs and I put my arms around his neck.

" You're very strong."

" I think that you are about as light as a feather."

" Mhm, su-"

" What's going on out here?" I heard a familiar voice ask.

Leah.

With Alice next to her. They looked at us with curious eyes and I rested my hands on Edward's shoulders to distance us.

I tried to get off him but he wasn't having that. He only held me closer and tighter.

" Nothing. We'll see you ladies later."

With that Edward carried me off to his room, almost sprinting. I kept my arms around him, not wanting to fall to my death, and suddenly we were in his room and he leapt to his bed. I scrambled on the mattress but his weight held me down. I heard him growl lowly in my ear.

" So scary."

His lips attached themselves to my neck and my body went slack against the mattress.

I felt like I couldn't control myself when he was around. He could do whatever he wanted and I would be all for it. I couldn't figure out if that as something bad or good.

When his hand clamped around my thigh again, an unexplained noise came from the back of my throat. Edward pulled away from me, looking at me oddly.

" What was that?"

" Uh, I honestly don't know."

He laughed, but soon it was interrupted by his phone going off. Edward kissed my forehead and grabbed his phone, answering it quickly.

" Hello...Oh, hey, man...With Bella right now...No we were not...Let me ask."

Edward looked at me, " You want to go hang with James?"

" Sure, whatever. If you want to I'm cool with it."

" Alright, we'll be there soon...Fuck you...bye."

" He apologized for interrupting our ravenous sex session."

I rolled my eyes, " Of course he did."

Slowly I scooted off the bed and smoothed my skirt down.

" Do you think we could stop by my house? I would like to put on a pair of jeans or something."

" Sure thing, hot stuff."

~\\~

When Edward got to my house, there was absolutely nobody there. I invited him inside and he trailed behind me in a pretty confident manner. The front door was locked, confirming my thought of nobody home, and I unlocked it and let Edward inside.

He looked around for a long moment, taking everything in it seemed. He'd been here when we had gone on our date, but now he seemed to be analyzing everything.

" It's not some fancy mansion, but it's my house."

" I like it. It feels like a home."

I smiled and started heading upstairs to my bedroom. I hoped I didn't have anything laying on the floor, but I was pretty sure I picked up my room not too long ago. Edward was careful not to knock his head as he walked up the first few steps until it was open to the top floor. He was probably the tallest person to enter this house.

I was relieved when I opened my bedroom door. My room was organized.

Edward stepped into my bedroom and looked all around. I was almost nervous as to what he was going to think about it, because it suddenly did kind of matter. I grabbed the Scarlet Letter book off my bed and put it back on my shelf before turning to look at him.

" It's very...You. I love it."

" Is that so?"

He sat down on my bed like he'd been in here many times before, and I swear I heard him moan or something.

" Your bed smells just like you."

" Well, I'd sure hope so. Nobody else sleeps in it."

" Atleast not yet. I could fucking nap in here all day."

Edward rested his head on my pillow, but his eyes were wide and open on mine. The most cutest, but wicked crooked grin was on his face, and it made me smile back at him. He was laid right over my bed. Edward Masen was laying in my bed.

" I'm just going to change really quick."

I went to the bathroom and put on a pair of black skinny jeans, that still matched my shirt and decided to toss my hair up in a messy bun with a few pieces fallen. When I walked out of my room, Edward was still on my bed, and I went to my closet to grab my shoes. A simple pair of black flats.

I grabbed my dark blue zip up hoodie and Edward crooked his finger at me. With a smile I hopped up on my bed and crawled towards him. He grabbed me around the waist and pulled me down with him, pressing his lips to mine slowly.

" I've never made out with a boy in my bed before." I noted.

" I like the sound of that. We'll have to do it often."

Edward and I shamelessly kissed on my bed for just a few minutes. I felt like a teenager, except for the fact that I didn't have a parent downstairs and there was no excitement of getting caught. Hell, I didn't want to get caught anyways. I'd get reamed out.

We got to James' house fairly quick, and it was starting to get a little bit dark outside. After reaching the basement Edward and I collapsed onto the couch together in a heap. James looked fairly not surprised about this at all. Edward draped my legs over his thighs and pulled me close.

" Are we all happy couple, now?" James asked, handing me a blunt.

" Definitely." I said, grabbing my lighter from my pocket and lighting it up. I took a deep drag and handed it off to Edward.

" What did you guys do today?"

" Had lunch together and hung around. What about you?"

" Well, after pealing another clingy girl off my bed; I showered and ate. Awesome fucking day."

" Who was it this time, player?"

" Victoria Bennett."

I wasn't surprised.

Victoria is definitely the girl that often falls into James' bed. They are so off and on in a relationship that it's literally like a light switch for them. He constantly talks about how annoying she can be, but how

' absolutely fucking fantastic' she is in bed. I guess I can understand. James is all about physical aspects of a relationship. He's a guy. I can't blame him. I wouldn't be with a guy if he sucked in bed. Sexual chemistry is important.

One day I would hope that he would actually get his shit together about her. Until then, the light switch was well...still a light switch.

" She has huge knockers, man. First day of school she comes up to me wearing this fucking tiny as hell tank top shoving them in my face. Told her I wasn't interested and she tripped over her five inch heels while doing the fucking walk of shame."

James laughed loudly, " I'm not surprised she did that. Why'd you turn her down? Big boobs and big red hair not your type?"

" Not at all." Edward replied, resting his hand on my calf.

I smirked and James rolled his eyes.

" Of course. Brunette and small boobs."

" Hey! I do not have small boobs." I protested, looking down at my chest.

" Compared to Victoria you do."

" Shut up!"

Edward pulled me over onto his lap and rested one hand on my waist.

" I think your boobs are absolutely perfect, Angel."

" You're lying."

" Never."

He smiled and wrapped his arm tightly around my waist. I took the blunt from his mouth and took a deep drag. James opened his mini fridge and took out a bottle of Smirnoff that was in the freezer part.

" Yeah, I can't be getting smashed tonight." Edward said.

" Me either." I agreed, taking another drag.

~\\~

" Edward, come on, please?"

" I'm not dancing with you while you are drunk."

" You don't want to do anything while I'm drunk!" I whined.

He leaned forward and kissed my cheek. " I don't want you to fall."

" That's why I have you to help me. James over there is just a fucking...lazy ass!"

" Hey, take a chill pill, hot stuff."

I glared at him and put my hands on the zipper of my hoodie. It was fucking hot in here. I didn't want that thing on.

" Hey, now." Edward said, stopping me.

" I'm hot. Please let me take it off."

He shook his head.

" Are you my boyfriend, or my father? I don't even think you are my boyfriend. Did we make that official? I don't think so. So I can do as I please."

I hopped gracefully to the middle of the room and unzipped my hoodie, tossing it over on James' bed where he was laying on his back smoking a blunt. I walked over to him and bent down in his face. I stole his blunt and put it off to the side of my mouth.

" Are my boobs really that small?" I asked him with a laugh.

He grabbed my waist and tossed me on his bed. I yelped and laughed more.

" Your boobs are just fine, hottie tottie. I think your boyfriend over there is kind of pissed that you are in my bed."

I rolled over onto my stomach and looked over at Edward. He sat on the couch, watching me with an unreadable expression.

" He's mad at me."

" I'm not mad at you." he said.

" And I'm so not stupid. You are mad."

" Whatever."

I lifted myself off the bed and walked lazily over to Edward. He almost seemed annoyed at that point.

" I'm going to go get something to eat. I'll be back." James said, stumbling his way up the stairs.

Once the door slammed I sat down next to Edward on the couch.

" Hey. Please don't be mad."

" I'm not mad."

I sat in Edward's lap and turned towards him.

" I'm sorry that I get...flirty and crazy."

" Don't apologize."

" Too late." I teased,

" It just makes me jealous. I know it's just James but...I can't help myself."

I leaned forward and pressed my lips to his. Edward gripped me tightly and pulled me down onto the couch. I laughed against his mouth but was interrupted by his loud moan and body pressed against mine. The way he was pressed against me had me moan in response. He pushed his hands underneath my shirt and I tensed up slightly.

" Hey, not...Edward..." I stuttered out.

" I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Fuck, I don't mean to take advantage of you."

" It's okay. I just don't want to do that here."

He looked at me in surprise, " Bella! Damn it you made me feel like I was..."

" You can touch me. Just not in the basement of my friend's house where I get stoned and drunk, and where we can get caught."

Edward licked my bottom lip and captured my lips in another kiss. His hand stayed on my waist, gripping it firmly to hold me to him. I ran my hands down his back and pushed my body up to his. He let out a low groan.

" We have to stop or else I will take it too far."

I shook my head and pressed on. He was hesitating.

" Okay, fine. Fine, fine, fine."

I pushed Edward off of me and sighed, running my fingers through my hair.

" Didn't you just say you don't want to do that shit down here?"

" Well, fuck. I don't know what I want!"

" Apparently."

" Shut up!"

" Fiesty."

" Edward!"

" Bella!"

" Ugh, you piss me off so fucking bad."

" You're sexy when you get pissed off."

He tickled my side and I squealed, " Can we go?"

" Where do you want to go?"

" I really want a fucking slurpee. That peach dragon shit is like, epic, babe."

" Babe?"

" Yeah, babe, let's fucking go."

" You are so drunk, Angel."

" Edward, let's go! I really want some sour patch kids, too. We can chill in your car and just...I don't know. Let's go!"

He grabbed his keys from his pocket and I walked towards the stairs. He helped me get up them, and we ran into James on the way out. I basically threw myself at him for a hug and he laughed.

" I'm getting a dragon slurpee, and I'll see you later."

James laughed, " Okay. Take care of her, dude. She...is a handful."

" He can handle me! I'm not that awful."

" I got her." Edward assured.

~\\~

" Fuck, these are good."

" I bet they are. After all you almost stole them."

" I did not!"

" You were going to."

" Edward, the police are going to come here! Stop saying that."

" Nobody is coming here." Edward laughed, pulling me to his side and holding me closely.

" Have you ever...done it...in your car?"

" No."

" Want to change that?"

" Maybe in the future."

I leaned over and kissed him before cuddling into his side.

" Aw, someone is getting sweet."

" Sour. Sweet. Gone."

" Mm, no gone."

" Do you think your parents know we are laying on a blanket in your front yard?"

" Probably not."

" You're so adorable. Do you know that? I look at you and its pure adorability. "

" Oh, really?" he asked.

" Yeah. Like fucking adorable and sexy all at once."

" Thanks."

" You're so welcome."

I put my slurpee down and rolled over onto him. He brushed my hair out of my face and smiled at me. I put one of the candies into his mouth and he chewed and swallowed it quickly.

" You're amazing."

" Why is that?"

" Because you are completely...Nobody has made me smile so much in my life. Or made me laugh so much. I finally feel just happy. Really happy."

I smirked, " Oh, yeah?"

" Yeah."

" I know something that will make you smile." I said suggestively, adjusting myself in his lap.

" Really?"

" Oh, yeah, babe."

I leaned down and kissed him deeply, resuming everything that we started in the basement before. He moved us to cradle me gently in his arms, and I sighed into his mouth contently. I felt his tongue fiddle with my lip ring, flicking it around. He flipped us over and pressed his upper body to mine, resting his knee between my legs.

It was over before it felt like it started. Edward got off of me and laid on his side next to me. He had an intense look on his face as he watched me.

" You know...A big part of me says that I'm nowhere near ready for a relationship, but another part tells me to never let you go."

" I know what that feels like." I murmured, staring up at the sky.

" Do you?"

" I've never...Been with a guy like I have with you. And I've never experienced these feelings before, or anything close to it. I don't...I never thought I'd be one of those girls who wears pretty skirts and goes out on dates and tries to look pretty for a guy. I mean I try harder to make sure my hair looks good, and in the shower, my legs are like fucking smooth as a waxed floor..."

Edward interrupted me with a laugh.

" And all I want to do is just be in your arms. I always want you to hold me and kiss me...To be perfectly honest; these feelings scare the shit out of me because I haven't known you that long. I know I sound like I am rambling, but I just can't help how I feel about you. I can't remember the last time I was happy like this."

" I can't help it either sometimes." he replied, taking me in his arms.

" I'm cold."

" Want to sneak into my room for a bit? I have a ladder."

" Huh?"

" You know those French doors in my bedroom? There is a ladder below it that's four feet above the ground."

" Fuck, I can just sneak over here in the middle of the night."

" There's a key for it."

" We'll make a copy! Let's go."

Edward and I ran around his house, laughing the entire way like it was an inside joke. When we got around towards Edward's room above, looking through the first floor glass wall I saw Carlisle. The glass wall showed the entire library, which was basically awesome.

" Shit!" Edward shout/whispered.

" Abort!"

" Here's the key. I'll give you a boost."

Edward grabbed my waist and lifted me up. I grasped the bars firmly and lifted myself up also. There was just a small part to stand on, and luckily the doors pushed in instead of out. I opened them quietly and suddenly felt Edward behind me. I stepped into his bedroom, dark and quiet.

" Want to watch a movie or something?"

" What time is it?"

" Only eight twenty."

" Well, one in the morning is the latest I can get home..."

" Then we've got plenty of time. We can check the movie channels."

I took my hoodie off and draped it over his lounger before laying face down on his bed.

" I'll take that as a yes." he said, grabbing his remote.

When he moved to lay on the bed I snuggled into his side, wrapping my body around his.

" Or we can just cuddle."

He flipped something on and lowered the volume. Edward wrapped his arms around my waist and ran his hand down my thigh to the back of my knee to hook my leg around his hip. I pressed my forehead against his chest, breathing in his scent. He nuzzled my hair and gripped me tighter.

I enjoyed every moment of it. I didn't want to move from this spot.

" Can we just lay here forever."

" Mhm." he hummed, leaning down to kiss my forehead.

" I never thought I'd like forehead kisses."

I groaned after hearing myself say it out loud. He chuckled quietly and kissed my forehead once again.

" You're adorable and sexy, and charming, and beautiful, and simply brilliant."

" Mm, I get it. You're cuddly."

" Cuddly?"

I burrowed my face in his chest and breathed in his scent. " Yeah. You smell really good, too."

" Thanks." he said with a laugh.

" Why haven't you kissed me?"

He looked confused, " I kiss you all the time."

" No, I mean, like, kiss me. You lick my bottom lip, which is awesome by the way, but..."

" You want me to ram my tongue down your throat?" he asked with a laugh.

" Yeah."

" Maybe I want to wait."

" Waiting to french kiss me? People wait to have sex, Edward."

" You are so random."

" I know I'm random. Hey, I'm really thirsty."

" Are you?"

" Yeah. My mouth is dry. Do you have like coke or something? Gatorade?"

" Mm, yeah, sure. Let's go."

" Carry me?"

" Why?"

" I feel like I'm made of rubber."

" How about I just get it for you okay, Angel? You lay down."

He got off the bed and grabbed the throw blanket at the end of it, that's a rich gold cover and silky looking. He grabbed my ankle and slipped my shoes off for me. I laid down and he covered me with the gold blanket. The back of it, which is the bottom, is silky, and the top is lusher. I wrapped myself around in it and Edward headed downstairs.

After about a minute suddenly his bedroom door opened.

" Edwar- Oh...I'm sorry, dear. I didn't know you were here."

I'm basically smashed and here if Edward's mother. I sat up and looked over at Esme.

" It's cool. Edward and I were just hanging out. He went to get me something to drink."

She nodded and moved to sit at the end of the bed, I sat up and she smiled at me.

" You know. I haven't seen my son this happy in a very long time."

" Really?"

" Yes. I'm sure you know about him having Marfan's. I was really hard on him, and so was the break up with his girlfriend Makenna at the same time. She was a wretched girl. No heart. Ever since then he's not been as high spirited as he has been in the past days. I miss seeing him like that."

" I'm glad that I can contribute to that...He makes me really happy, too." I was trying my hardest to keep my voice still.

" You've brought him so much happiness. I knew he wasn't very happy about moving here to Washington, but I think he just found a way to make it bearable."

I smiled and looked down at my hands. Just then, Edward walked into his bedroom with a bottle of cool blue Gatorade. He paused when he saw his mother, and looked slightly worried for just a moment.

" Don't worry. I'm not in here to get you in trouble for sneaking a girl into your bedroom. Looks like that ladder came of good use, hm?"

Edward smirked at her and handed me the drink.

" Thank you." I said quietly.

He reached out to touch my jaw softly before dropping his hands and looking at his mother.

" Fine, fine. I'll be leaving. No funny business."

" Me? Funny business? I am no trouble at all."

" Last time you said that you came home with another piercing in that bottom lip of yours."

" I love you, mom."

He kissed her cheek and she rolled her eyes at him. Once the door was shut Edward sat on the side of the bed.

" What'd she say?"

I smiled, " Nothing."

" Don't do that to me." he whined, pushing me to lay on my back as he hovered over me.

" She said that you've been happier since we've met."

I ran my fingers through his hair and he smiled. I closed my eyes as his forehead rested on mine.

" You make me happy. Your smile. Your laugh...Everything. And it scares the absolute shit out of me, too. How can I care so much about someone that I basically just met?"

" I know."

I wrapped my arms around him and kissed his lips softly. When we pulled away he laid next to me and pulled me into his arms. I adjusted my blanket over both of us as he held me as close as he could without crushing me. My arms wrapped around his neck as he buried his face in my neck.

We lay in that same position for an immeasurable amount of time, never moving or shifting. Soon enough Edward was asleep curled up against me. It was nine forty at that time. I didn't want to let him go.

He looked peaceful in his sleep. Beautiful. I traced his bottom lip and ran my finger over the silver rings in his lip. His brow furrowed for a moment and I rested my thumb on the crease, smoothing it out.

" Bella."

For a moment I thought that he woke up, but his eyes were still closed. His body shifted so that I was on my back and his head was resting on my chest. I ran my fingers through his hair for just a moment before closing my eyes and relaxing.

Everything felt perfect.
