A/N: Yes, I have returned from nowhere! I am very sorry, I really don't have an excuse for not updating, so…. Enjoy this chapter!

BPOV

My mouth dropped open in pure shock. Me kiss Edward? I felt a strange fluttering in the pit of my stomach. Did I want to kiss Edward? Did I love Edward? One way to find out…

Edward scrambled over to me and sat down right in front of me. Our lips came closer and closer…

"Girls, I'm home!" Charlie said bursting through the front door. I snapped my head back immediately. Damn, I was this close to discover my true feelings. Cue sigh.

"Oh, the Cullens are here? Are they sleeping over?" Dad asked.

"Yeah, I hope you don't mind, we were planning on sleeping in the living room." I said. He nodded.

"That's fine, I'll order pizza." He said. Emmett pumped his fist into the air. We all laughed.

"That's ok dad, we already ate, but you can order anyway, we might want a midnight snack later." I said. He shrugged and disappeared upstairs with the phone in his hand.

"So, game over?" Alice asked with disappointment coloring her voice. We nodded.

"What do we do now?" Jasper asked. I looked at the clock, ten-thirty.

"Laura, it's your bedtime, go take a shower and go to bed." I said. She frowned, but went anyway. I got up from my spot on the floor and flopped down on the couch. The rape was still eating away at me. I knew I had to tell them soon, just not now. I wasn't ready.

Edward sat next to me.

"Are you okay Bella? You seem kind of anxious." He said. I sighed.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered. He seemed unsatisfied with the answer, but let it go. I was very thankful for that. I noticed that everyone besides Edward and me had filtered into the kitchen.

"So…." Edward trailed off.

"So…." This was becoming very awkward. We sat there in silence, until we hear whispering.

"Why won't he make a move on her?" I heard Alice say.

"I don't know! This is his only chance to tell her he is in love with her!" Emmett said. My eyes turned as big as saucers. My head turned slowly toward Edward. His face was a mask of horror and….relief?

Edward's Point of View

When I heard what they were saying, my face turned bright red. I was horrified because this was bad timing and I was relieved because I didn't have to tell her on my own anymore. But, how was I going to explain this?

"Edward?" I heard Bella ask. Her voice was barely above a whisper, so I had to strain my ears to hear her.

"Hmm?" I kept my eyes glued to the floor. I was afraid to actually speak. I couldn't even look at her.

"Is it true?" She asked, her voice was still the same volume, so I barely heard her. When I did, I decided to play dumb. Not that I thought it would it work, but I might as well try.

"What's true?"

"Come on Edward, don't play dumb." Damn, she knew me all too well. I sighed.

"Yes, Bella, it is. I've been in love with you since, well, I don't actually remember when, but that proves that it's been a long time…" Great Edward, just keep rambling on and on. Smooth.

"Edward, stop rambling, you're giving me a headache." She said. I shut up. God, this is embarrassing.

"Edward, I don't know what to say, I mean I have been having these feelings, but I don't know what they are. I'm sorry I just…" She didn't finish, she dashed up to her room and slammed the door. I groaned in frustration and sat down on the couch with my head in my hands. This wasn't fair.

"Edward? Where is Bella?" Alice asked, bouncing back into the room.

"She ran up to her room because SOMEBODY whispered a little too loudly." I replied. She was confused for a moment, before her face pulled a face of understanding.

"Oh my gosh! Edward I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Honest." She said. I waved her off with a wave of my hand.

"It's fine."

Alice's Point of View

Earlier in the day

"Okay, so why are we here?" Emmett asked. Jasper looked confused as well. I sighed. Boys can be so stupid sometimes.

"I have called this meeting-"

"Meeting? Alice, there are only three of us." My darling Jasper said.

"Yes, well, it's a meeting to me, anyway-"

"Alice, can we hurry it up? I'm hungry!" Emmett complained.

"Shut up! Sit down and shut up! Stop interrupting me!" They immediately shut up. I laughed like a maniac in my head. I can be so scary and evil sometimes.

"Good. Now, I have called this meeting to talk about Edward and Bella's relationship." They groaned.

"Alice, I love you, but don't you think that you're over thinking this?" Jasper said. I laughed.

"Silly, silly Jasper, I am a Cullen, and the Cullens never over think things. Never. Now, I have a plan." The groaned again. I glared at them. They zipped their lips. I smiled.

"Moving on, okay, my plan is, when we are all together somewhere, whether it be at school, or Bella's house, or our house, or wherever, we will go off somewhere, but be in close hearing range, and we "whisper" loudly," I put air quotes around "whisper, "That Edward loves Bella, and then BAM! We come back over and they are making out." I said, confident with my little plan. They looked confused.

"Um, Alice, I don't think it will turn out exactly that way." Emmett said.

"Well, they might not be making out, but they would be together, and that's all that matters, right?" I explained. They nodded, still a little unsure.

"Trust me, it will work out."

"And if it doesn't?"

"Then we try Plan B."

"What exactly is Plan B?"

"Easy, will play truth or dare. One of us will dare Bella to kiss Edward and BAM! Sparks will fly." I said. The boys nodded.

"Let the plans begin."

Present

Bella is driving us to her house. We had just stopped by my house to pick up some things because we were sleeping over.

This is perfect.

We were just pulling up.

We ate and talked. I noticed that Bella was blushing wildly, probably because she was sitting next to Edward. I smirked to myself.

After dinner, we girls went upstairs to change into our pajamas. This was a little tidbit I'd thrown in. Just a little icing on the cake as they say.

It took a little convincing to make Bella put on the outfit, but she eventually put it on. We made our way downstairs and I took a quick glance at Edward. He was drooling over Bella. I giggled and nudged Jasper. He rolled his eyes at him.

We all sat down in the living room.

"Let's play a game." Emmett suggested.

"How about truth or dare? We'll keep it age appropriate, Bella." I said. Emmett and Jasper shot me a confused look, but I ignored them. Bella said it was okay.

"I'll start! Okay, Edward, truth or dare?" I said.

"Truth."

"Okay, do you like anybody here more as a friend?" I asked. He glared at me. I just smiled.

"Yes."

"Who?"

"That's two truths! You can only ask one!" He argued. The game went on until it was Emmett's turn.

"Okay, Bella, truth or dare?"

"Dare?"

"I dare you to kiss Edward for ten seconds." He ordered her. I almost started dancing in happiness. Their mouths dropped open. He smiled.

They moved closer and closer until…..

…Charlie burst through the front door.

DAMN IT!

Oh well, plan A will have to do.

We ended the game and sat there for a while. I made eye contact with Emmett and Jasper and they nodded vaguely. We got up and went into the kitchen.

The plan was in action.

"Why isn't he making a move on her?" I asked.

"I don't know! This is his only chance to say he is in love with her!" Emmett replied. We waited and listened. All we heard was mumbling and a door slam. What the…?

I went back into the living room on my own. There was Edward with his head in his hands, groaning in frustration.

"Edward? Where is Bella?"

"She ran up into her room because SOMEONE was whispering a little too loudly." I was confused for a moment before understanding. Crap.

"Oh my god! Edward I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it! Honest!" I said. He waved me off with a wave of his hand.

"It's fine." He said.

No, it is defiantly NOT fine.
