Kiss

A/N I'm feeling a lot better now and I'm SO sorry about the wait! Now, here is Chapter 10!

Bella POV

We fooled around for a few hours in the pool before Alice decided it was time to get ready for the club. "Alice," I whined once we were in Rose's room, "Why do we need three hours to get ready?"

"Because Bella, masterpieces take time to create. Besides, we aren't just gonna be getting ready." She smiled mischievously.

"What are we doing then?"

"Just…teaching you a few things." She pushed me into the bathroom before I had time to say anything. "Now hurry up, we have lots of work to do!" I walked into the room to find a black dress with a in the center, and a pair of red heels. I stared at the outfit. This was something that was for Alice, or Rose. There was no way I would be able to pull it off.

"Bella!" Rose banged on the door. "Stop doubting yourself, put it on, and get your ass out here! Hurry up!" I sighed; there was no arguing with Rose, she was just as stubborn as Alice when it came to clothing. I slipped on the dress, and grabbed the heels from off of the counter. Hopefully, the torture wouldn't be too bad.

Edward POV

God, what is taking them so long, how much time do you need to get chlorine out of your hair? Wow…chlorine… Bella at the pool today, my god, she was absolutely amazing. It took everything I had in me not to pounce on her the moment I saw her. And then when she put the sunscreen on me…no words could describe it. The feeling of her hands on my skin was absolutely sinful. Mmmm…if she's that good with her hands, imagine what it'll be like when she-UGGH stop it Cullen, get your mind out of the gutter! It's Bella Swan, your best friend since kindergarten! You shouldn't be thinking this, and besides, she's not interested anyway…right?

My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door. I hurried to open it and found Bella looking fantastic in a very short black dress, and 4 inch heels that showed off her amazing legs perfectly. Her hair was gorgeous, and her full pouty lips were a luscious red. "Can I come in?" She asked.

"Sure Bella," I replied. She walked in, and before she even took one step, tripped and hit the floor with a thud. I rushed over to her. "Are you okay? I'm sorry I couldn't catch you, I mean, you just walked in and-"

"Edward, what's different with us?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"I mean, if this had happened a few days ago, you would have laughed and asked why the hell I was wearing these shoes," she motioned to her heels, "when I was so clumsy."

"I've just been…distracted, I guess." What the hell am I supposed to say? I can't tell her how I feel; she might just want to be friends.

"Is it this thing with Mike? I mean, you don't have to do this if you don't want to."

"It's not that…it's just…you've been dressing and acting differently, on the plane, at the pool. I mean, don't get me wrong, they aren't bad things at all. They're great actually. It's just that…I'm not used to feeling this way about you."

She smiled slightly. "You're a guy Edward, I get it. It's the same with Rose, or any other girl."

"But that's just it, it's not the same!" Shit. Did I just say that out loud?

"How," She murmured.

"Bells," I replied, using my favorite nickname for her, "You know how horrible I am with words."

"Try, please," she whispered.

"Bella…" I can't believe I'm going to do this "Bells, you're different than everyone else because everyone else pales in comparison. You are the most intelligent, witty, and funny person I've ever known, my best friend. And you've been my friend for so long, that I never got the chance to see you as more than that, a friend. But then, that day on the plane…I realized that with the physical attraction that I felt for you, came emotional attraction as well. I started seeing more than I had seen before, started to see how beautiful you truly were, inside and out. Started to realize that I really really liked you. All the physical attraction did was help me to see that you could be something more than my friend."

She sat on the floor in silence for a moment, and held out her hand. I pulled her up off of the floor into my arms. She pulled back slightly, searching my face for any hint of doubt. "You really mean that?"

"Every word," I replied. Please let her like me back, please…

Her face suddenly became angry. "I will not be just another notch on your belt Edward Cullen, you hear? If you really mean that, then we can try this. If it's not some kind of game."

"It's not a game, I promise Bella. I promise I won't hurt you."

"I believe you." She pressed her lips to mine, softly, gently, and latched her arms around my neck. It was pure bliss, I could feel every curve of her body through her dress, feel the goosebumps on her flawless skin. I deepened the kiss, wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her to me as tightly as possible. Her tongue outlined my lips, as I walked us into the room and pushed her down on the bed. Bella truly was different. Her kisses were mesmerizing; they weren't fueled by just lust, there were feelings behind them. Just like mine.

I rested my body on top of hers, trying not to burden her with my full weight. She flipped us, and pressed her lips to mine once again, running her hands through my already disheveled hair. I slipped my tongue inside her mouth as she moved her hands to my neck, my arms, leaving a trail of fire in her wake. It was heaven, but I knew we would be interrupted very soon.

"Bella…" I had meant it as a warning, that we should stop, but it came out as more of a moan. She responded with a moan of her own, by far the sexiest thing I have ever heard, as she moved her lips down to my neck. "We…need…to stop…Alice…" I could barely form a coherent sentence as she began to suck on the hollow spot below my ear. "You have no idea how amazing that feels," I murmured

"You are right though, they'll be here soon," she breathed into my ear. Before I had even processed what she had said, she got off of the bed and skipped towards the door. "You coming Edward?" I stared at her incredulously.

"Uh…Sure." I got up and straightened out my clothes, still recovering from what had just happened. "Such a tease," I mumbled to myself. Bella laughed musically, opened the door, and walked across the hall to knock on Rose's door.

I followed after her and closed the door behind me, still thinking of what had just occurred. What a kiss…

The flu made me realize that things don't always turn out the way you expect, so I changed this chapter up from what I had originally intended. I may do what Rose and Alice taught Bella as a one shot sometime, but it won't be in this story. Next chapter is the club, and it will be longer, I promise!

Reviews make me very happy, and happy writers update sooner!
