Previously: "We dare you to kiss Edward!"
Bella's POV
Excuse Me? Did they just say "kiss Edward"???
My jaw hit the floor, along with Edward's and Nick's. Emmett and Jasper were smug, waiting for someone to do something, while Alice and Rose had vicious smiles on their face.
How could they do this to me? They are putting me in a really awkward position. One, because Edward has a girlfriend, and two, because I like Nick as more than a friend, and they knew that.
I was angry. More than angry actually. I was furious. How could they do this to me? Why would they do this to me?
Everyone sat their staring at me, waiting for me to do something. By now Edward actually seemed curious of what I was going to do, while Nick looked about as angry as I was. Unfortunately, I had no choice but to do the dare, so…
I stomped right up to Edward, still angry, and kissed him, right on the lips.
I had only kissed him for a second, and yet, that was a kiss that I would never forget. I mean, talk about sparks. He didn't even have time to react, but the second that my lips met his warm, soft lips, it was like magic. There might as well have been fireworks in the background. It was perfect. Unlike any kiss with Jake, or any other boyfriend – not that I have had many.
For a moment I almost forgot why I was so angry, but when I realized who I was kissing and why I was kissing them, I remembered again, so I pulled away, stood up, and announced "I'm leaving."
Then I took Nick's hand and pulled him out the door with me.
We walked back to my dorm without saying anything, but right when we got through the door, I had to say something, although I didn't want to bring up our little game of truth or dare, so instead I simply asked, "So, I'm guessing you don't have a girlfriend?" I asked, trying to hide the hope in my voice.
He half smiled "Nope. Not yet anyway." We were both quiet for a moment, before he asked "So what crazy things did Edward say about me before we actually met?" Apparently he thought Edward hadn't been completely truthful with whatever he said, although he hadn't said a lot.
"Actually, he didn't say too much. I think that he thought I was going to find you annoying." Then we both smiled. "But he kind of gave me the impression that you liked me…" I gave him a playful questioning look...
"Ah, Edward. What am I going to do with him? You'd think after all these years he would give me a break." He laughed. "Well, unfortunately, for me, he gave me the impression that you wouldn't like me."
"Well, Edward barely knows me. He was probably just goofing off because your friends." I answered hoping he got the picture. He did.
"Does that mean that you do like me?" He gave me the crooked grin that was only perfected by Edward, and yet looked adorable on him too.
"It's weird. I've only known you for a couple hours now, and yet, I think I might." It was weird. Considering a little while ago I had been crying in the woods over Jake, and now, I was claiming to possibly like Nick. But with Nick, it was different.
I mean, sure, we had a connection, but it didn't feel right. I almost had more feelings for Edward than I did for Nick, but I knew that didn't make sense, so I put that out of my head. But even my feelings towards Jake were different than this. And yet, I felt good with Nick.
After that we just talked for awhile, and not much happened, other than him admitting that he was starting to like me too.
It must have been about an hour and a half of us sitting there, talking and laughing like we were back in 8th grade. That's how it felt too. Being around Nick was really comforting, even though I had only known him for a bit.
We were laughing about some joke that Nick had told when a small knock came from the door. "Um, Bella, can I come in?" A quiet, pixie-like voice came from the door.
"Come on in Alice!" I called back, still quietly laughing about the joke.
She stuck her head in, almost worried, and then stepped in, followed by Rosalie. They were both unusually quiet, and wouldn't meet my gaze as they walked towards Alice's bed. That's when I remembered that I was mad at them. I was so caught up in hanging out with Nick that I forgot all about the dare.
Nick noticed the tension in the room, and decided this was his cue to leave. "Well, I'm going to head out. Bye Bella." And he gave me a hug. "Alice. Rosalie." He acknowledged them before leaving.
"Bye Nick." They said in unison.
Nick left, and then they slowly turned towards me, staring at the ground. Nobody said anything at first, and I didn't feel like standing there, waiting for an apology, even though I knew that was why they were both here, so I plopped down on the bed, and grabbed a dance magazine. I saw them both eying it, curiously, but then were taken back to the present, and Alice sat down on the other side of the bed, while Rosalie remained standing.
"Bella, we're sorry. Really sorry." She began. "We didn't know that you would be so upset. Really. If we had known you would be so upset, we wouldn't have done it." She stated.
"I just want to know why you did it. Just for fun? I bet it would have been fantastic to see your roommate kiss your brother, who has a girlfriend. Wouldn't it?" I said, my voice dripping in sarcasm.
"I don't know if you will want to know why we really did it. You will probably be angry with us. We're even angry at ourselves." Rosalie said.
"Okay, well right now, I'm probably imagining that it is something far worse than it is, so you might as well tell me, because I'm not to happy now." I hoped they got the picture.
"Well, if you insist…" Rosalie said, leaving her statement there for Alice to finish.
"We just think you and Edward would be awesome together."
What do you think? They just kissed, and Nick and Bella said they're beginning to like each other.
Ummm, I also realize that Bella and Nick haven't known eachother for more than 5 hours (haha) but, remember that Nick saw Bella before the pizza parlor, and Bella, of course, fell for his sense of humor, and his charm. But that's why they don't have much of a relationship yet.
Now, do you want them to have a major relationship? Or minor? Or, none at all? And how will Bella react to Alice and Rosalie's reasoning?
Review PLEASE!
Love,
