hi :D
Chapter 12
"So what's he like?" Alice asked during lunch the next day.
Rose had joined us today as well and was easily forgiven and just as eager as Alice.
"Edward?" I confirmed.
They nodded their hands, yes and I smirked. "He's sweet and kind and soft. He makes me laugh and we joke a lot together and when I'm with him, I can't be emotionless, only happy. He's...genuine."
"Sounds nice. So he asked you out to Semi Thursday night?"
"No, no. It's not like that. He just suggested I go for the fresh air." I explained.
"Ya right." Rose snorted.
"Bella, Edward likes you. Based on what you've told us it's extremely obvious."
I shrugged. "I can't be sure yet. I am paying him, remember?"
"Sweetheart, if you gave that boy a penny he'd agree." Rose laughed.
"Stop being melodramatic guys." I urged as soon as the bell rang. "I got to go to class. Talk to you later. Rose, feel free to come over tomorrow with Ali, love ya."
I ran away to my next period with a permanent smile planted on my face.
Bella was back.
Kinda...

This time when Edward came over, I was already outside waiting for his arrival.
"Hey!" He smiled, jogging over and giving me a hug.
"Hi." I whispered, hugging him back.
"Come on..." He grinned, pulling me towards the woody forest.
"I'm coming!" I giggled, stumbling over my feet.
When we arrived he sat down on the damp grass and patted his lap for me to sit.
I shook my head, no. "I'm not exactly what you would call 'light'."
He rolled his eyes in the deep dark and reached up to my waste and pulled me down on top of his lap while chuckling. Dirty bastard.
"I can't see your face!" I complained.
He ignored my whine. "You have a lovely head of hair." He joked.
"Oh yeah." I said with sarcasm.
I then twisted my torso around to see his face and the proximity of our bodies startled me considering we were closer than I thought. He took a strand of my brown hair and began playing with it gently yet naturally.
"This is nice." I confessed.
"It is. So tell me more abut Angela." Edward pressed.
"She's...one of a kind. Or was. There was no stopping her. She just had a heart full of gold and was always there for me. She helped me overcome my fears and made me a more confident person. She changed me for the better. She reminds me of you, and that scares me."
"Why?"
"I don't want to lose you." I admitted. "I can't."
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise."
I stuck out my hand and lifted my pinky finger up. "Pinky swear?"
He beamed. "Pinky swear." We shook pinkies and I was about to pull my pinky away when he held it tight. He pulled our hands towards him and kissed his thumb. "Your turn."
I pulled the connected hands toward myself and kissed my thumb as well then he pressed out thumbs together, sealing the promise.
"I won't leave, Bella."
"Good because I don't want you to."
He lifted his right hand and tucked it behind my think waves and pulled my face to his, pressing his forehead against mine gently. I closed my eyes, embracing the small movements and lifted my hand to his pale cheek, holding it gently.
"Where do we go from here?" I whispered.
Just as the words flowed out of my mouth, there was a drop of rain landing on the side of his cheek, over my hand followed by a bunch of rain drops until the rain became heavier and the sky began to lighten through the mad clouds and the flash of dim lightening.
"We should go. It'll be light soon and the rain is starting to pick up."
I nodded. "Okay."
I got up off him and he followed not long later and hand in hand we began to tread through the mud.
"This is disturbing and disgusting all at the same time. " I complained over the thunderous rain.
"Stop overreacting Bella." He laughed.
Just then, I slipped on the dampened mud, landing backwards with my whole back in a bowl of brown mush. Edward laughed harder than I'd ever seen.
"Edward! How do you expect me to explain the fact that I am covered in mud from head to toe to my parents?" I grimaced at his chuckling face.
"Just come on...we have to go." He said, trying to calm down.
"Help me up dumb ass or I'll just slip and fall again!" I exclaimed.
He rolled his eyes but lent a hand to the needy and when our hands connected there was nothing stopping me from pulling him down as well. If I looked like walking shit, he will too.
"Fuck!" He yelled as his back when digging into the mud.
"Oops?" I giggled. "Are you sure my eyes don't match this colour?" I asked rhetorically.
He sat up, glaring it me. "I'm positive."
"Aww...even aggravated and covered in mud you're still so sweet." I smirked.
Suddenly, I realized that both his hands where behind his back and then I was hit with a huge compressed ball of mud. "Crap!" I laughed.
"Actually it's mud..."
I hit him back right in the chest and began tossing it randomly at him, the rain poring over our bodies.
I crawled closer to him on all fours and he sat in a sitting position welcoming my arrival.
"I won't hit you." He promised.
I reached him and touched his clean face with my muddy hand. "I trust you." I smiled.
Suddenly the thunder screamed above us and we both stood up carefully, walking the rest of the way out of the forest and into the open area headed towards civilization.
He dropped me off at my house and hugged me goodbye and when I crawled up my window, I crawled right back into bed, not wanting to wash away an amazing night.
there ya go!!
I'm trying to make the chapter's a bit longer so tell me if this is good or what not...
