Chapter Nine: Love is complicated

Woot! I am on chapter nine! I never thought this could happen.

Okay my friend totally thinks I'm weird for naming my pet chicken Squishy. I think its cute. He's fuzzy and looks Squishy. So Lucia don't be jealousy because Squishy is mine. You can have Pudding.

I listened to my sister playing fatal frame again.

If you have a question don't be afraid to ask. :)

Its been three months since I have been dating Edward. There are five things I am sure of since I met Edward. One is that vampires do exist. Second is that werewolves exist too, a.k.a the Black family. Third is that being Alice's barbie is not a good thing. It is painful. All that shopping and everything. Fourth is that when Edward and Emmett play fight ... back away. Far away!. The last one is that love is complicated when dating a vampire. Edward has never kissed me. I think he's scared to. I think . . . maybe . . . he thinks he's going to hurt me. We go on dates, hold hands, most of the time he comes at my house at night and sleeps next to me. He does that to make sure my dad doesn't do anything. Which I was so thankful for because my dad has only beaten me once since I began dating Edward. Thats the reason he sleeps at my house at night now.

I turned on the radio in my car. That's What You Get by Paramore was on. I love that song! I was driving to Edwards house. He had called me and told me to come over and it was Saturday, I went right away. I couldn't deny Edward. Once I reached his house. He was standing outside. I got out of my car and ran to him. He caught me before I tripped and fell. He started laughing as he caught me.

"In a hurry?" He smiled.

"Not anymore." I smiled back.

He grabbed my hand and took me into his house. Alice came running down.

"Bella!" She hugged me. "How are you?"

"I'm good."

"What about Charlie?"

I felt Edward tense when he heard the name Charlie. "Well, since I'm always out now, he can't hurt me."

"Thats good." Alice said and left up stairs.

"So... what did you call me for," I asked.

"Do I have to have a reason?" He teased.

"Yes. Yes you do!"

He laughed. "I'm going to take you out."

He was not talking about that. I groaned. "No! I am not going to the school's Halloween dance!" I pouted. I hate dances. I am such a klutz when it comes to dancing.

"Come on Bella." I shook my head. "Please." I shook my head again. He pulled me close to him. "For me," He whispered into my ear.

I shivered in delight from him being so close and the sound of his voice. "F-fine."

He stepped away from me. I groaned and he laughed. "Alice is waiting for you."

"Fine!" I went up stairs to Alice's room. "Hey Alice!"

"Here's your costume." She handed me a dress that was so cute! It looked like I was a Gothic Princess. ( Dress is at . when you click on the picture it zooms so you can see it better). I put it on and Alice did my hair and make up. I wondered what Edward was going as. As long as I had him beside me, I knew I wasn't going to fall on my face.

After Alice was finished with me, I went down the stairs and saw Edward. I couldn't help but laugh. "A vampire? Isn't that like giving your self away?"

"Nope. Humans don't even believe in vampires, Most of them love them until they meet a real one. Thats when they run and scream."

"I didn't."

"Your different. Thats what I love about you." He kissed me on my cheek.

Just once can he kiss me on my lips! "Well its two so I'm guessing we're doing something else too, because the party starts at six."

"Yes. Lets go up stairs to my room and watch a movie while we wait."

I smiled. "Okay." He grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs. I squeezed his hand like I always do. I get really excited with Edward. I mean he always takes me to different places and its just so amazing! He took me into his room. I saw the movie While You Were Sleeping was on (If you never seen it, watch it). I love that movie. I was so excited I let go of his hand and ran to the bed. Edward laughed. "This movie is so romantic! I love it."

"I know," Edward said while sitting next to me on the bed. "Thats why I picked it." He grabbed my hand and played the movie. I moved close to Edward and laid my head on his shoulder. He kissed my forehead and laid his head on mine gently. I loved when he would do this. By this I mean putting on a movie and watching it together.

We were at the part where Peter (The guy in the movie) woke up. I took my hand out of his and put my arms around him. He looked at me questioningly. I smiled. "Edward? If I fell into a coma, would you love my sister instead of me?"

He laughed. "You don't have a sister."

"If I did?"

"No, I would be sitting next to you day and night trying to help you. I would not hang out with your 'sister'" I laughed at that. "What made you ask that question?"

"Just thinking about the movie and such."

We watched the rest of the movie. Edward turned off the movie, put his hands around my waist, and pulled me close to him. I smiled at him and he smiled back. I kissed him real quick on the neck. He breathed in deeply. I saw him look at the door then at me. "Alice is wanting you to go down to her room."

"Why?" I asked.

He smirked. "To fix your lip stick."

I smiled as I looked at his neck and saw my kiss mark there. I laughed.. "Okay!" He let go of me and I went off to Alice. I wish I could have stayed with Edward. I think he was about to kiss me. I went to Alice who had the black lip stick out already. I smiled. When she finished putting the lip stick on, I grabbed her hand. "Can I talk to you somewhere Edward can't here us or your thoughts."

Alice smiled. "Yes, but you know Edward is worried right now because you said that."

Oh boy. "Uhh, don't worry Edward its nothing! Girl talk!"

Alice giggled. "Come on." She tugged me out the door into the forest. Once we got were Alice thought was far enough she said, "Spill."

I breathed in. "Does Edward like me?"

"Why wouldn't he?"

"He... He hasn't kissed me yet."

Alice look at me. "What!" I looked at her. She was shocked. "You mean he talks about you this much and he hasn't even kissed you yet!"

We sat there for a while. She kept asking me about what we did in the months we been dating. I told her all the places Edward took me and how wonderful they were. We went back and I ran to Edward and hugged him. He hugged me back.

"Ready?"

"No. I hate dances."

"But, you'll be with me."

"That's the only good part."

He smiled and I looked at the others. Alice had changed into her costume. It was a pixie. Rose was a Juliet and Emmett was Romeo. Jasper was a fairy. He's costume made me laugh. "Oh be quite," He said. I laughed even harder. Rose just rolled her eyes and left with Emmett. I never got why she hated me. Edward took my hand and led me to the car. He opened the door for me and I got in. A second later he was in the car.

"You look really amazing Bella," Edward smiled at me while saying it. It was quiet and he stared at me for a little. It was the perfect moment for a kiss! But Edward being Edward didn't kiss me! He just pulled the car in reverse then drove off (Not in reverse that would be freaky). Edward grabbed my hand and squeezed it gently. I hope he knows what he's doing. I was going to be in a lot of trouble if I was going to dance. I squeezed Edwards hand and he looked at me with a smile that said everything was going to be okay. I felt some relief.
