Bella's POV.
Oh gosh, Edward Cullen kissed me...me!
I felt like screaming and running round the house continuously. But I didn't, I kept my cool, no way in hell was I doing homework tonight, I walked into the kitchen, putting my bags and coat on one of the chairs. I took the fajita mix out of the cupboard and started making fajitas for dinner. I couldn't stop smiling but again the flurry of questions began running through my head. Okay so he kissed me...not really a big deal, hah tell that to the stupid grin on my face. What exactly did this mean now? I guess he wouldn't kiss me unless he actually really liked me, but having lack of experience in this area I had no idea what would happen at school Monday, would we be like together or after the argument we had on Friday would people think we were no longer talking to each other.
"Hey Bells" I heard from the front door
"Hey dad, how were the fish?" I asked him, still smiling damn!
"Didn't wanna come out and see us today I guess" he mumbled putting away his fishing gear under the stairs
"Awh well, there's always next time. I'm making fajitas for dinner" I added, yeah anything to keep me distracted from my thoughts
"Smells great, give me a shout when its done" He said before he started walking out the kitchen "Everything alright Bella?" he asked stepping back in. Damn!
"Yeah everything's great dad, why wouldn't it be?" I asked
"Not anything bad, its just you look over excited. You look like you been walking round with a hanger in your mouth all day your smiling so much" he said casually leaning on the doorframe
"No, nothings overly good. I just had a nice day shopping with Alice and Rose" I said innocently
"Bella is happy about shopping...now I know your lying" he laughed
"Well what can I say. Guess my new friends bring out a good side in me" I said shrugging trying to wipe the smile off my face.
"Yeah...guess so. Still it's nice to see you so happy Bella" he said smiling lazily
"I am" I said thoughtfully. "Now go get in there ill call you when dinner is ready" I added throwing a towel at him.
I wish I could say the rest of the night bore any resemblance to the morning and afternoon but unfortunately it didn't. I was too overly excited to do anything school related. I'm pretty sure I spent majority of the night doodling on my notepad on the sofa whilst Charlie watched some random game. I knew if I was alone I would keep thinking about that kiss.
Unfortunately again, my plan did absolutely nothing to stop my mind from wandering and by the time I went to bed I was in overdrive, now picturing myself in the white wedding dress with Alice and Rose out of the ninja gear and into beautiful strapless bridesmaids gowns.
When I woke up the next morning I was just as on edge as the night before. I somehow managed to do my homework, god knows if I did anything right. I wouldn't surprise me if I had just written 'he kissed me' over and over. I had now come to the conclusion that Edward Cullen did in fact have some feelings for me, what they were exactly I didn't know and so as much as I was stupidly stubborn on the situation, I was going to have to talk to him and find out what his intentions were so to speak. I didn't want to be just another notch on his bedpost but I really didn't want to give up anything now.
That kiss was just a taster of what I could have. I wanted the close group of friends, I wanted the crazy best friend who was so carefree and loving and most of all, I wanted the boyfriend. I wanted the boy who would kiss me and cuddle me and love me for whom I am. I would have to talk to Edward if I wanted any of my dreams to become a reality. I was halfway through a spin cycle of my clothes when my phone began buzzing furiously, I looked at the name flashing up only it was a number I didn't recognised. I tentatively answered my phone with a shy hello
"Hey Bella!" I heard in a shoddy Italian accent, at once I knew it was Emmett
"Hey boy, why are you calling me?" I asked
"Oh fine! I'm hurt Bella, hurt! I'll just hang up shall I" he said in a sarcastic hurt tone
"Oh stop being over dramatic" I sighed "All I mean is why are you calling me, where is Alice or Rose"
"They just left" he told me "They said tell her we are coming to get her so she has 15minutes to get ready for the sleepover of her life" he said in a girly voice
"But its Sunday?" I replied totally confused. Do people have sleepovers on a Sunday?
"Yeah...then it's lucky we're al at school together. Edward is going to take you to school tomorrow and Alice wants a sleepover tonight. So there" he drawled out, he sounded like he was so bored.
"But I haven't even asked Charlie" I stuttered out
"Well get to it! You got 15 minutes Bella girl, ciao!" he laughed before hanging up.
Fuck! Sleepover at Alice's. Alice. Whose brother was Edward. Fuck! I gently stuck my head round the door looking into the front room. Charlie was quietly snoring on the sofa. Okay I can do this just tell him what Emmett told you and there is nothing to worry about. It's not like your going to a nightclub to get drunk and do drugs, your going to a girlie sleepover.
"Dad" I whispered shaking him
"Hmm" he mumbled, opening his eyes slightly
"Dad Alice just called me, she asked me if I want to go to a sleepover at hers tonight"
"Its a school night" he mumbled, pretty sure he was still half asleep
"Yeah but were all at the same school. Alice said she would drive me in tomorrow and I've done all my homework" I said, almost pleading. It wouldn't hurt to make it seem like I wanted to go.
"As long as you're in school at the right time tomorrow and you don't stay up stupidly late tonight" he said getting comfortable on the sofa again.
As if I could predict the last request, regardless I nodded and kissed him on the head. He fanned me away and mumbled something about best sleep ever. I was only halfway up the stairs before I heard him snoring again.
Okay girlie sleepover with the boy I kissed there also. I was hyperventilating again as I slowly grabbed my duffel bag from the depths of my wardrobe. I hadn't really ever been to a sleepover before so I really had no idea what it entailed. I quickly gathered up my toiletries and put them in a small bag. I then found my nice pyjamas as I called them. Really they were just an expensive pair my mother sent me a few months ago; I hadn't even removed the tags yet, I was more of a sweatpants and wife beater sort of girl. I folded up my quilt and placed it at the bottom of the stairs. I also put my clothes for school I my bag and I grabbed my schoolbag aswell, gosh I must have looked like I was going on holiday or something!
I tried to calm my breathing as I heard the horn honking outside my house, with a loud sigh I picked up my bags and quilt and made my way downstairs, through the front door and into what was probably going to be the longest night of my life.
Sorry if that was short, i just wanted to get this one out so everyone knows what was going through Bella's mind after the kiss. Now i can focus on the sleepover yay!
Reviewers get cookies, gummie bears AND jelly tots! i do love jelly tots!
