BPOV
After being dropped off by Edward and experiencing the BEST kiss of my entire life, I made sure not to make any noise and headed straight to my bedroom. It was pitch black when I entered the room, I reached my hand out over to the wall, trying to find the light switch and when I did, I noticed how messy me and Rose had let it. Shoes and dresses were scattered across my bed, some thrown into piles on the floor.
I groaned, I would have to clear all this before I got into bed. I wouldn't have time in the morning if I was going out… with Edward. Then I thought, the sooner I get this cleared, the faster I can go to bed, the faster I get to see Edward tomorrow, well later this morning. I sorted out my items and Rose's and put them into separate piles so Rose could get her stuff back easily. I quickly got changed into a red vest top and black pyjama shorts and brushed my hair and teeth and got straight into bed and I closed my eyes, waiting for sleep to defeat me.
I woke up with wide eyes as I came to realization of last night. I looked at my phone and it was almost eight. Considering I went bed early this morning, I didn't sleep for long. I went into the bathroom and stood at the sink, gazing into the mirror. There was something.. Different? My eyes.. They had a sparkle to them. Something I didn't quite understand, but I knew the obvious reason why I was basically glowing with happiness. I know it seems really fast, and I shouldn't be feeling these feelings for a few more weeks, but Edward just seems like the most down-to-earth guy and he's pretty hot too!
Last night, he was such a gentlemen, he always asked if I wanted drinks, his hand was always placed on the small of my back. He just seems very caring and sweet and I most certainly couldn't wait until ten. I brushed my hair softly before I got undressed and got into the shower. The water felt so relaxing, gently tapping against my scalp, dripping down, making my hair fall just above my bum. I loved having long hair. Never have I dyed my hair, I hardly ever straighten or curl it either. It has its own natural beach wave style going on, so my hair grows really fast. I quickly washed my hair with my strawberry shampoo again, I could never get tired of this smell! I quickly used some 'extra volume' conditioner that I got for the holiday. Which again, smelt like strawberries. I finished in the shower, dried myself off and got changed into a simple black skirt and a blue half-sleeved top and left my hair to dry naturally.
I walked back into my room and made my bed. Then picked up my clothes and shoes that were piled up on the floor and put them into the closet. I noticed that Rosalie's pile had gone. I left out a pair of black flip flops and went to knock on Rosalie's door, my hair almost dry already.
She answered almost straight away. "Bella!" She squealed, opening her door wider for me to walk in, so I did and sat on her bed, noticing that she was also putting away her clothes and shoes. Although, there was not much room left in her closet and she had quite a few more pairs of heels to put in.
"I've got so much to tell you about last night! I don't know where to begi.." She trailed off, staring at me.
"Carry on?" I motioned her sarcastically with my hands.
She shook her head at me. "There's something different about you! And I have no idea what!"
I laughed, my darling best friend has no idea about what happened last night.
"Anyway!" She said.
"Emmett asked me to be his girlfriend!" "Edward kissed me!" We both screamed at the same time.
"What!" We both screamed again and we just laughed.
"Edward kissed you?" She asked, her face beaming.
"Yes! Emmett asked you to be his girlfriend!" I then asked, she nodded. "I hope you said yes!"
"I did Bella. He was so sweet, he seemed so nervous all of a sudden!"
(Rosalie's POV)
"Hey Rosie, come over here with me a sec" Emmett told me, leading me over to a spot under a palm tree, twining his fingers with mine. "Look, I know ive known for, about 6 hours" we laughed. "But, I really like you, your not like the others and your smoking'!" I smiled, bless him and his hormones. "Will you, please be my girlfriend? I want to spend every second of this summer that I can with you" He smiled.
I gently put my hands on the side of his face and gently kissed him. "Yes, I will be your girlfriend"
(Back to Bella's POV)
"And then we just made out for what seemed like hours.. But unfortunately, it got late so Emmett walked me back here. We bumped into Edward on the way back aswell. Some slut called Tanya was begging him to take her home but he asked Em to instead"
"Oh" Was all I could say. Some slut called Tanya begging Edward to take her home? Obviously they knew each other quite well then.
"What? What did I say?" Rosalie asked, sitting down next to me on the bed, her eyebrows rised.
"Nothing, its all good" I replied.
"Was it what I said about the slut? Don't worry, he definitely seemed like he didn't wanna walk her back. He said something like, 'not after last time' then he sneaked off home I think." She said, patting my back.
I don't know why, but I was jealous. I'll admit now. I was jealous that the slut 'Tanya' may have history with Edward. Especially now Rose said 'not after last time'. I know that I'm being stupid and Edward has probably had loads of girlfriends with his look and charm but, knowing that one possible girlfriend could be here in Hawaii made my stomach twist. But surely, him kissing me last night showed that he doesn't really care about Tanya, or was he secretly a player? I really hope not.
"What are you thinking about now? Bella, come on tell me." Rose said, standing up in front of me, her hands on her hips. "Bella!"
"What? I'm fine, honest" I said, shrugging my shoulders.
She just glared at me, knowing that I was infact over thinking things and she wanted to know.
"Fine" I huffed and stood up and went over to the window. "I'm jealous. I don't know why, I really don't. But if Tanya and Edward have a history, I don't know." I cried. "There could be a chance that this summer, they could get together"
"Bella, don't worry. This is me and my big mouth again. Last night, his eyes were always on you. Every time I glanced over at you two, you were laughing, dancing, hugging, talking. He was absorbed in you Bella. Don't over think things. He showed no affection towards Tanya when I seen him, else he would of walked her home, which he did with you. He likes you Bella. I can tell" She told me, her words sinking into my brain. I was over thinking things.
"Thank you Rose!" I turned towards her and gave her the tightest hug I could. "Will you help me get ready?"
"What? Why? Where are you going?" She asked. Woops, I never told her.
"Edward asked me to the beach today, he's picking me up at 10" I smiled.
"So he kisses you and asks you out on a date and you were thinking that he might get together with a slut like Tanya?" She laughed. "Bella, you don't know how much of a great catch you are! I remember when we found out that we were coming to Hawaii for the summer. We were on about all the things we going to do together and that it was the last time we were going to spend quality time together before University, so we weren't going to waste it on guys. But look where we are" We both laughed.
"I know, but as long as we are happy right? And we still spend a lot of time together, every time one of the guys does something we have to tell each other okay? Every kiss, every sweet thing that comes out of their mouths right?" I asked.
"Yes. Right, lets do your hair. I have the perfect idea!" Rose squealed.
(Later)
"Done" Rose said, I stood up and walked to the bathroom mirror where Rose followed me.
"Wow Rose, I love it!" I smiled. Rose has decided to straighten my hair and slightly curl the ends in, she gave me a sweet middle parting and pinned back the two small bits of my fringe. I had never worn my hair like this, but I really liked it!
"I'm glad. I think it really suits you! You should wear it like this more often." She said, straightening the wild parts of her own hair.
"Whats the time!" I panicked, I lost track of time.
"Half nine" My mom came into the bathroom. "Knock-knock" she laughed. "Bella! You look nice, where are you off?" She winked.
"She's going to meet Edward again" Rosalie said, turning her head round to smile at my mom. "Crap, I left the straightners on, be right back!"
Rosalie ran out of the room and my mom came and stood by me, watching me through the mirror. "You look very pretty sweetie"
I blushed. "Thanks mom"
"So where's Edward taking you?" she asked, jumping up onto the sink counter and sat down.
I laughed. "He said he was taking me to the beach" I smiled. "I'm really looking forward to it. "He's picking me up at 10"
"Not long left then" She laughed and I giggled with her.
"I love you mom"
"I love you too sweetie" she said, getting up and hugging me.
"Bella! Can I take a picture of you?" Rosalie shouted, running from her room to the bathroom.
"Not alone, one with my mom? Then one of us two yeah?" I said, I hating having pictures took.
"Okay" she breathed as me and my mom stood next to each other, smiling. She took the picture. "Awwwwww"
We all laughed and looked at the photo then Rose came to stand next to me for a photo. I hope to take a lot of photos myself this summer. We took a few more photos and headed downstairs as we waited for Edward to pick me up. We told my mom and Phil about last night, including the Edward/Emmett moments. Just before 10, there was a knock at the door, similar to the one I heard yesterday..
"Go answer it then!" Rose said, with much more enthusiasm that I hoped for.
I quickly walked over to the door, but quickly looked back, making sure nobody was staring at us. Luckily, nobody was watching, but they were eavesdropping. I opened the door and Edward was standing there, smiling.
"Hey" he breathed, showing his crooked smile again.
"Hi" I replied. "Umm, I'll see you guys later" I shouted into the house and walked out.
"You look very pretty Bella" he said as he placed his hand out in front of us. I took it in mine and he intertwined our fingers.
I smiled to myself, but I was screaming like a teenage girl on the inside. "So what the plan?" I said, smiling up at him. I noticed he was wearing dark jeans and a casual white shirt and he looked so so so hot.
"I was thinking that we could head down to this beach I know not far from here and have lunch, does that sound alright?" he asked, hoping that it did sound alright.
"Yeah, that sounds perfect" Hmm, did I sound too… happy?
"I'm glad you think so" he laughed.
We took a long stroll, hand in hand to the beach he was on about, we talked about ourselves the whole time. Not once mentioning last night, but I think it was obvious that we both liked each other. I felt so much confident knowing he seems to like me back.
After a few more minutes, Edward let go of my hand and put his hands on my eyes, making sure I couldn't see anything. We laughed and I tried not to fall over.
"What are you doing? I will fall over you know. My co-ordination is bad enough as it is, without being blindfolded" I laughed.
"I want to surprise you" he whispered in my ear, but I felt his breath on my neck. I shuddered and he chuckled.
He directed me to a spot where I could hear waves crashing on rocks and the sun felt amazing on my skin.
"Can you take the blindfold off now?" I asked, I pouted, hoping he would take it off sooner.
Instead of taking it off straight away, he gently kissed my lips, which I definitely wasn't expecting and then took my blindfold off. Although it wasn't a very long or passionate kiss, I felt sparks.
"Mmm, thanks" I said, smiling at him.
"Anytime" he laughed.
"I'll keep that in mind then" I winked at him.
I then finally took in what was around us. We were at a bitch alone that seemed to never end in front of us. The ocean was a very light turquoise blue and the sand was a very soft light gold colour, that moved with the breeze from the waves.
"Wow! This place is beautiful!" I said, as I ran down the beach, laughing as I heard Edward's laugh getting louder behind me.
I turned my head over my shoulder and Edward was right behind me. I squealed and ran faster, trying to run away. Suddenly, I felt a pair of strong arms wrap around my waist and I was pulled on top of Edward, resting on his chest with one of his arms across my back and his other hand was tangled in my hair.
I looked up from his chest and smiled at him and he smiled back at me and I put my head back on his chest. We laid there for a few minutes until his stomach grumbled.
We bought laughed loudly, seeing as nobody was around but us. "Hungry?" I asked.
He laughed again. "Are you?"
"Hmmm, yes" I giggled.
"Your giggle is the cutest thing" He gently tapped my nose. "Want to get some food?"
"Sure" I said, jumping up and wiping the sand off me.
Edward stood up as well and put his arm around my waste and walked me over behind some large rocks, where a tiny, abandoned shack was. It was about the same size as a shed and it had surf board nailed above the door. Edward walked us in and there was a large blue and a large red bean bag, between them was a wicker picnic basket. I slumped into the red bean bag while Edward sat in the blue. He opened up the basket and there was lots of different types of sandwiches, potato chips and sodas.
"Help yourself, please" He said, unwrapping some of the sandwiches and holding them out to me. I took a smoked salmon sandwich and it was one of the best things I've ever tasted. While Edward, opened up two cans of coke, sliding one to me and keeping one by himself.
We ate lunch and just sat and laughed. Afterwards, I joined Edward on his beanbag and we just held each other for what seemed like hours. We smiled, had our fingers entwined and kissed. Even though we weren't officially a couple and we had known each other less than 3 days, I began to feel like this could go somewhere.
Edward began to walk me back home at five and I wanted the walk to take forever, so I didn't have to say goodbye. When my beach house came into view, a sudden sadness washed over me. I wanted to wait a little while longer. Just a few more minutes..
Edward spun me round a pressed a hard kiss to my mouth. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened my mouth, our tongues dancing together. The kiss was the most intense I've had in my life. Our bodies were pressed up against each other, I tried to make every part of my body touch his. I was beginning to feel faint from the kiss, it was taking my breath away. Edward pulled back but still held me. I leaned up and kissed his jaw.
"Thank you" I whispered. It was almost as if Edward felt the same sadness at saying goodbye as I did.
We carried on walking over to the house. Still talking, but Edward's left arm was wrapped around my waist while is right hand was holding my left. We almost had reached the house when Edward stopped walking.
"Will you be my girlfriend?"
