"Your best you tried and yeah, you did fine

No, better than fine, perfect in my mind.

In fact, I wish your heart was mine."

"Ow!" I dodged the needle Alice was poking into my side. "Those things are sharp, Al!"

She glared and continued to prod and poke at the fabric. Alice had asked me to be the maid of honor at her wedding and, being the little fashion designer she was, decided to make all of the dresses herself.

I'd come over to tell Alice about Edward, expecting her to, I don't know, squeal and act girly? Except that was wishful thinking and I soon faced the Wrath Of Alice the minute I'd told her. Let's just say she wasn't too thrilled that she'd been kept in the dark for so long. And telling her as she was doing the measurements for my dress was not exactly the smartest decision.

Thankfully, she was quickly getting over it and the needle poking was finally becoming less frequent.

"So are you guys serious?" She asked.

I shrugged, scratching the inside of my wrist. "Uh, we haven't really discussed the, erm, logistics of our relationship."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know what we are, exactly." I frowned. Things had become evermore confusing with Edward and myself. Mostly because nothing had really...changed. We still had our "sleepovers", but we'd never done anything outside the apartment, like a normal couple would do. Not that I thought we were a couple. Nope. No way.

I mean, we'd have to talk about being a couple if we were a couple, right? And we hadn't. Yeah, okay, so Edward had said he wanted to be with me, but I'd told Emmett about us weeks ago and he'd yet to even ask me on a date. I was starting to worry that maybe Edward had changed his mind.

"So, how are things going with the wedding plan?" I asked, changing the subject.

Alice's face lit up. "Great! Everything should be ready soon..."

Alice's wedding date was actually not too far away. She'd gotten everything together in record timing, which wasn't exactly a surprise since she'd been planning her wedding since she was nine.

After Alice was done with whatever she was trying to do with the dress, I put my regular clothes back on and headed back to the apartment.

When I walked in, I heard Edward's voice coming from the living room and I quickly made my way towards him, plopping down on the couch. I soon noticed that he was on the phone and made an attempt to leave the room so that he could have some privacy but he grabbed my waist with one hand and pulled me back towards him, still continuing to talk with the mystery person.

Edward quickly wrapped the converstaion up. "Okay, I'll talk to you soon. Love you, Mom. Bye."

Ah. So, Edward Cullen was a mama's boy?

He placed the phone on the side table and then turned back to me, kissing my lips softly.

"You left so early this morning. I didn't even get a chance to see you." He frowned.

"Sorry, I went to Alice's. You know, maid of honor duties and all that."

"Fun stuff."

"You know it," I teased. "So, that was your mother?"

"Yeah, I hadn't talked to her for a while, so I figured I'd give her a call." He sighed, running his long fingers through my hair. "I'd love for you to meet her one day."

My heart started thudding at the thought of meeting Edward's mother. That was a pretty big step, especially for the non-existent relationship we had.

"I'd like that," I replied. "But, um, what would you, exactly, be introducing me as?"

He gave me a puzzled look. "What do you mean?"

I grimaced, looking down at my hands, feeling completely awkward. "Well, like, okay, so I meet her. Then, you go, 'Hey, Mom. This is Bella, my...'" I paused, waiting for him to finish my sentence.

He continued to stare at me like I was insane in the membrane. "Uh...my roommate?"

I pulled away from him and frowned. "Well, is that what I am to you?"

He shook his head, sighing, hooking his fingers through the loops in my jeans and closing the distance between us. "Bella, you're obviously trying to get at something. Just say it."

I crossed my arms. "I...I'm so confused! I don't understand what it is that we're doing. I mean, I like you and I think you like me too. You act like you're my boyfriend, but it's not like we've ever established that. I don't know what I'm supposed to think. I mean, we've never even gone out in public together!" Okay, I have to admit, I sort of felt like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum, but I couldn't help it. All of my Edward frustrations made me into a bit of a drama queen.

He just looked at me for a second and then, he bursted out laughing. Why did it seem like he did that a lot?

"Bella, my sweet Bella," he chuckled. "You are absurd."

He was definitely not helping his case and I think he got the hint when I continued to frown at him.

"Bella, I thought I made myself clear. No, I don't think you are just my roommate and I would love to be your boyfriend." He laughed at this because, apparently, the word boyfriend was hilarious.

"Then ask me. Officially," I commanded.

"What, are we in high school, or something?" He teased.

"Edward..." I glared.

He held his hands up in surrender. "Okay, okay." He took a deep breath and then let it out exxageratedlty. "Bella, will you go out with me? Be my girlfriend, one and only? Maybe we can go to prom together, too?" I hit him on the arm when he said the last part.

Edward grinned. "Okay, serious time, now. What do you say?" He stared down at me expectantly.

I stuck a finger to my lips, pretending to be in deep thought. "Hmmm, I don't know...I'm not really into nerds."

Edward gasped in mock horror. "Bella!"

"Kidding!" I smiled. "Yes, Edward, I'd love to be your girlfriend. Why didn't you just say so?" I stuck my tongue out at him and he kissed it, taking me by surpise.

"Dork," I teased.

"Your dork." He grinned, pulling me closer.

"Yes, my dork."
