I couldn't stop myself. I had to kiss her. The way she looked under the light of the moon, and in that dress… All my fantasies had nothing on how it actually felt to kiss her. I couldn't believe how perfectly our mouths fit together. I angled her head by putting one hand on her neck and my other around her waist.
After the momentary shock wore off, she began to contribute, and suddenly, our tongues had intermingled. Her arms wrapped my neck and pulled me closer, to my surprise. I moaned graciously. Her lips moved perfectly with mine, as if trying to take all the time to convey her thoughts across, and I was hoping her thoughts were that she liked me.
We slowly both rescinded (our foreheads touching) breathing heavily. We stayed there quietly for a few minutes until I saw her lick her lips, and then I couldn't stop myself. I attacked her lips again. I didn't waste any time in pulling her lower lip into her mouth. I started with sucking it gently, then my teeth grazed her lip, and instead, I groaned.
She giggled, and I could feel her smile against my lips. I nudged her slightly with my tongue, after releasing her lip, and then she did the same to me. Her musical moans floated to my ears and there was no stopping the way my… little friend reacted. I was just glad she was wearing that huge dress; she couldn't feel it underneath it.
She moved away to breath, and I moved my mouth to her neck, leaving no spot unturned as I pressed kisses along her neck. She grinded her lips along me, and I couldn't focus clearly anymore. I sucked slowly on a spot beneath her ear that seemed to be having a more efficient affect on her. I bit down softly and she whimpered beneath me.
I loved the effect I had on her. She grabbed my neck, and I had a feeling that I was the only thing keeping her up.
"Edward," she groaned.
"God, Bella," I said against her neck.
I left one last kiss on her neck and brought my head back up to see her beautiful face. She looked at me and started laughing.
Is that a good sign?

I don't know why I did it, but I had to. I just started laughing, because I had to be dreaming. There was no way that Edward Cullen, Edward freaking Cullen would ever want to kiss me! It was ridiculous. Then, I saw the goofy look disappear and was replaced by a confused look. That's when I realized that this wasn't a dream. This was real. His face started to turn into a sadder look.
"No!" I shouted, and his head shot up. I chuckled. "I just… I wasn't laughing at you… I was laughing at the situation."
"I don't think that that makes it any better," Edward said with a confused look.
"I just—I thought I was dreaming," I admitted and looked down as I blushed.
He put his finger under my chin and lifted it up. "Then we're both dreaming."
He leaned in to give me a pop kiss, but it was sweet.
"Can I ask you something?" Edward asked.
I nodded.
"Do you want to go with me… to my parents' house on Wednesday?" he asked.
I opened my mouth to speak but he cut me off.
"I mean, unless you think it's too soon. I know we've only known each other for, like, two weeks, and we've never even gone out—which I intend to fix as soon as possible—and we've only kissed, very good kissed, but—"
"Edward!" I cut him off, putting my hands on his arms to stop him. "I'd love to."
He smiled. "Okay." He put his hands on my forearms. "How long do you have to stay here?"
I thought about it. I did make an appearance, and Mike and Rose could handle most of the charities and investors if they had to. I had been working hard and picking up Rose's slack. She owed me.
"I can leave anytime I want," I said.
He smiled. "Good, come on."
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To amend that date problem."
I giggled as he tugged on my hand. "Wait," I said, and he turned around to see what I was talking about.
I pulled his mask down to cover his face and he reached over and did the same. "Wouldn't want anyone to think they could take their masks off."
He laughed. "Okay, let's go." He pulled me away from the bridge and back into the dance.
We walked inside, and I saw Rose. He pulled off in the opposite way as he turned towards Alice. We laughed.
"I'm going to go to Alice!" He shouted over the music. I nodded. "Meet me back at the limo!" I nodded again.
I took off towards Rose, who was once again near Emmett. His hand was pulling her to him by her back, and her head rested on his shoulder. I tapped her on the shoulder and she looked surprised to see me.
"Bella, what happened to your hair?"
"Rose, I'm leaving, and I need you to cover for me," I said quickly.
She looked at me with a confused look but nodded.
"I'll talk to you later," I promised and left her standing there.
She seemed confused for a second but went back to her previous condition as I left.

I wanted to squeal. So uncharacteristic of me, but I couldn't help it. It had only been two minutes since I saw and kissed her, but I was already supremely happy.
"Dude."
I turned around and saw Jacob looking extremely drunk and extremely happy.
"Thank you so much." He put all his weight on me. "That Bella," he whispered in a slightly drunk voice, "is amazing."
I turned to see Tanya looking at us, and he waved at her. As she saw us both, she seemed to realize the mistake she had made. I smirked and waved at her. She huffed and stomped away.
"She's playing hard to get," Jacob growled. "Later, man." He chased off after her.
I shuddered and wiped my shoulder off from where Jacob had been. I walked over to Alice, where Jasper was taping on the table.
"Hey, Alice, I'm going to get going," I whispered into her ear.
She looked at me curiously.
"I'll explain later," I said, and she nodded. "I'm going to take the limo, but I'll send him back."
"Okay," Alice said quietly.
"Hey, wait!" Jasper called to me. "Can I talk to you really fast?" he asked.
I nodded. "Really fast; I kind of have somewhere to go."
XxxxxxxxX
I couldn't walk fast enough to get to Bella. While I knew I should be focusing on what Jasper had told me, I was far too gone to really care at the moment. I just wanted to be with her. I ran up to the front, and she was waiting for me, picking at her purse.
"Hey," I said breathlessly as I came up to her and stuffed my hands into my pockets. We stood there for a few minutes before I couldn't stop myself. "Can I?" I asked, walking closer to her.
She seemed to get the drift, and shyly leaned up to kiss me. I smiled as her lips touched mine briefly. She giggled and bit her bottom lip. God, she was so sexy.
"Come on," I said and grabbed her hand. "I want to make you dinner."
"You want to make me dinner?"

Most of the limo ride was quiet. I still wasn't sure how to act in this situation. Were we dating? Boyfriend and girlfriend? And why did I feel like a thirteen year old with her first boyfriend? I didn't even know where we were going, I realized.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"My apartment," Edward said without hesitation. He didn't seem to notice the implications that it brought with it.
I wasn't a virgin or a prude, but I still thought it should be special when it came to sex. After staring at him for a few seconds, he seemed to understand what he had just said and the innuendo that it brought with it.
"Oh!" he exclaimed. "No, I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted to cook you something, and it's a lot easier at my house," he explained quickly.
I nodded. "No, it's okay."
"I just don't want you to think that I'm going to be like that and pressuring you and things like that," Edward said. "We don't have to do anything until you don't want to," he assured me.
I nodded with a smile. "Okay. So… what are you going to make me?" I asked.
"I think you're just going to have to wait and see," he said and looked out the window. "Besides, we're here."
We pulled up an apartment building. The chauffer opened the door for us, and while leading me up to the elevator, Edward told him to go back to the ball. He pressed the seventh floor and stuck his key into the elevator. I looked at him with a confused look.
He smiled. "I own the whole floor."
"Of course you do," I said.
He smirked. "You say it like it's a bad thing." He leaned closer to me whispered into my ear, "Just more space for us to…"
"Cook," I suggested.
He laughed. "Yeah, let's go with that."
The elevator doors opened, and he led me in.
"Whoa!" I said. This place was bigger than my house!
The floor was completely rugged, and you first walked into the kitchen. It was as big as my bedroom. Then, it went into a living room with a huge, flat screen TV.
"You didn't decorate this place yourself did you?" I asked as I saw the completely matching apartment.
"No. Alice and my mom," he guaranteed me.
"Oh, thank God. That definitely would've made you gay," I said.
He laughed and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I would've converted for you," he whispered into my ear.
"Shut up," I said and smacked him on the chest.
He walked away. "I'm going to change so I don't get this dirty. Do you want me to get you something to change into?"
I nodded. "Please. I'm sure Alice will kill me if I ruin this."
I walked to the counter that separated the kitchen from the living room as Edward walked into one of the six doors that was joined to the living room. He came back and handed me one of his baseball jerseys and a pair of shorts.
"Do I really want to wear this?" I asked and held up his jersey.
"Oh, I don't wear that to practices, don't worry," he said.
He put his hand on the small of my back and led me to one of the bathrooms.
"Thank you," I said.
He nodded.
I went inside and closed the door. Taking off the dress seemed to be more a difficulty than I had imagined, but I eventually did get it off. Then, I pulled on the pair of shorts. They were black shorts that had an elastic waistband, so they fit well on me. I pulled on the jersey and looked at myself in the mirror. I smiled when I turned and saw that his name was printed on the back of it. I wondered if he noticed that.
I looked at myself in the mirror curiously. Before I could stop myself, I popped the top buttons of the shirt off so that—thanks to my corset—my breasts were propped up nicely against the shirt.
I let go of any pins in my hair and fluffed it up over my shoulders. I walked out quickly before I had enough sense to change my mind. He was already standing at the stove, stirring something in a pot. He was wearing a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt.
Calm down, girl,I reminded myself. I hated him for looking so damn sexy. I walked up behind him slowly and sat down at the counter.
"Are you going to tell me what you're making now?" I asked him.
He jumped slightly, and I heard him chuckle. "Not until it's done."
He turned around, and I could see his gaze drop down to my breast. He groaned and turned back around, and I giggled.
"I'm done," he said after a few minutes. "Can you hand me a few bowls from the cabinet?" he asked.
"Sure," I said, hopping off the chair. "Where are they?" I asked as I came up behind him to the stove.
He pointed to a shelf, and I reached up for it as I heard him turn off the stove. Suddenly, his arms were around my waist from the back.
"Hi," he said as he laid his head in the crook of my neck.
"Hi," I giggled. "What are you doing?"
I felt him shrug. I grabbed the bowls with his arms still around me. Then I felt his lips skim my neck, and I almost dropped the bowls. I put them down on the counter as he began to suck the weak spot on my neck.
"You have no idea what you do to me," he grumbled into my neck.
I gripped the back of his head, holding onto his hair, while he continued his ministration on my neck.
"We need to eat," I moaned.
"I intend to," he mumbled, kissing his way up my jaw.
"Edward," I said.
He sighed and released me slowly.
"Thank you," I said with a smile. "Now, what are we eating?"
"Macaroni and Cheese," he said with a smile as he put some into the bowls. "Alice and I used to do this late at night and call it Midnight Macaroni."
I smiled. "That's so cute."
He laughed. "That's what you want to hear from the girl you're dating."
I smiled, happy he said that we were 'dating.' "Come on, bring on the food. I'm hungry."
He handed me a bowl, and we sat down at dining room table.
"This is delicious," I said as I took a mouthful. I moaned as I took another wonderful bite.
"I really wish you wouldn't do that," Edward said.
I giggled and licked my lips. "Why not?"
"I think you know why," Edward said.
"I think you should show me," I said and bit the bottom of my lip.
"Bella," he groaned and grabbed my hand. "You know I'm trying to be good here."
I pouted. "Alright, sorry."
He sighed, and I yawned unexpectedly.
"Are you tired?" he asked.
I nodded and looked at my watch. It was almost two!
"I should get going," I said and stood up, pushing away the delicious plate. "I'd love that in a to-go box, though."
"Bella, it is way too late for you to go home," Edward said, standing up to block me from getting my things.
"Well, where do you suppose I stay?" I asked.
"Here," he said with a smirk.
"I thought you were trying to be good," I said.
"To be good doesn't mean that I can't stay in the same house as you," he said in an incredulous voice. "You must think that I have absolutely no control."
"I was kind of hoping," I said.
He rolled his eyes. "Come on. You can sleep in my room, and I will sleep in one of the guest rooms."
"Edward, I couldn't," I said tiredly and began to yawn again.
Then I realized I was starting to get drowsy, and the more he spoke of a bed, the more I wanted to agree with him.
"Yes, you can, Bella, and then I'll drive you to work in the morning and back," he said, taking my hand and leading me to the bedroom.
"Well, if you're sure," I said hesitantly.
"Yes, I am, and you can even lock the door if you would like," he said as he opened his bedroom door.
The room was completely green and decorated beautifully with a California King Size bed in the middle of it.
"Now, go to bed," he said in a demanding voice that almost made me change my mind about not sharing the bed with him.
I yawned dangerously and collapsed into the bed, not even bothering to turn off the light.
Ok, so what do you think is going to happen in the morning?
Also, what did Jasper talk to Edward about?
And, will Edward stay in the other room?
