You don't? GREAT!
Well,

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
BPOV
I stepped out of Edward's arms and walked up to Josh. "what are you doing here?" he pointed a finger at Alice.
"When I left you I was going to my job. I work over at the Payless near the front of the mall. This girl here," he pointed to Alice again, "came in and started asking me questions about the shoes. I got most of them correct and she said she was surprised I knew everything and started asking me questions about myself. After a while she invited me to her place, and here I am!" he shrugged and put his hands in his pockets.
I looked over at Alice and raised a brow, which I'm finding myself to be doing a lot lately. "It's odd for you to invite random people over."
"Yea, well, he seemed nice. I knew he wasn't a stalker or anything like that. And in plus, any guy who knows that much about shoes is a good guy in my book." She winked and smiled. "Actually, he was the reason I came looking for you guys. I left Rosalie because I remembered he was coming and went searching for you. But once I saw…that, I totally forgot. Then, WHAM!!" she clapped her hands together, "there he was! Waiting by the door."
She looked at me and Josh and gave a questioning look. "You guys have met before?"
"Yea," I spoke up, "he helped me find some things on the map. We talked for a bit then he left." He nodded and looked over at Edward who, for the moment, I totally forgot was present.
"Hello," josh said to Edward. "I'm Josh. It's nice to meet you." He extended his hand and Edward took it.
"I'm Edward. It's nice to meet you too."
"Are you and Bella together?" he looked at both of us and we yelled, "No!"
Edward cleared his throat uneasily and said, "Uh, no, we're not." He chuckled and glanced at me, running his hand through his hair.
Josh and Alice both looked at each other and smiled.
"Well…okay." Josh's smile grew as he spoke. "Let's go to the room, shall we?"

while we were hanging out with Josh, I noticed Edward kept glancing at Josh. He also never left my side. It seemed wherever I went Edward would follow; I don't have anything against it, but it was as if he had a sudden change of heart.
Weird.
Other than that, it was very fun. We all laughed and played random games, none of which were suggested by Alice. I'm glad of that because if she were to suggest something, I don't doubt it would lead to….bad things.
Right when Josh left, Edward said he had to go. He seemed to have a lot on his mind so Alice and I let him go.
Which meant I was stuck with Alice the rest of the day until she fell asleep.
Whenever she would bring up something even revolving around Edward and I, I would run to the bathroom or turn up the volume of my ipod. She would give up easily, which was what I was afraid of.
"So Bella, you and Edward,"
"Nope."
"But-"
"Nope, Alice, not at all."
That's how some of them went. Sometimes I would change the subject entirely.
"Bella, about Edward-"
"Hey Alice, what did we have for homework?"
"We didn't have any homework."
"Oh, right, yea."
Yep. I was that sly.
APOV
I wonder when Bella will cave. I guess it's only a matter of time…

EPOV
I wonder how Bella is doing with Alice.
Bella. Bella. Bella. Bella.
I can't stop thinking about her! Instead of thinking up ways to win the contest, which I have to win or else she gets to dare me something, I'm thinking about her hair, her eyes, her skin, her lips….
DAMN IT!
I try to drink some water to calm my nerves.
I have to find her weaknesses.
SUNDAY – BPOV
My cell phone rang and I picked it up quickly. "Hello?"
"Bella!"
"Josh?" what's up?"
"I'm bored!! I'm at my job right now and nobody is here. I'm going crazy! Can you come over? I'm almost off and we can hang out afterwards. How about it?"
I looked around my empty room and already knew that I would have to go or else I would go crazy also.
All I'm doing is reading Romeo and Juliet, and if I read anymore I'm going to begin talking like them.
"I'll be there in twenty minutes."
-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-
I got to the mall and I immediately began searching for Payless. Just like josh said, it was near the front. I entered and there was nobody inside.
Right when the door closed someone yelled, "BELLA!!!!!!!"
I was suddenly engulfed in a hug and lifted an inch above the floor. "Thank god you're here! I was going crazy!" Josh put me down and smiled. "Sorry. I'm a little excited." I laughed and nodded.
"I see that."
"What is going on here?" a man suddenly came through a door that was behind the counter.
"Oh, hello sir," Josh said. "This is Bella, my friend. She came to give me company." The man nodded. "Just don't be so loud," the man warned.
He was an older gentleman. He was dressed in a sweater and jeans and his hair was white and curly. He reminded me of Santa Clause.
He looked over at me and smiled sweetly. "Hello Bella, my name is . Are you going to be staying long?" I nodded and his smile grew.
"Fantastic!" he practically yelled, "then you could help him with a few things! Come, follow me!" he laughed heartily and began walking through the back door. Josh and I followed him through and I looked around.
Shoes were everywhere! There were a million racks of shoes that were alphabetized throughout the room, and in one corner there were at east twenty stacks of shoes that haven't been placed on the racks yet.
"These," pointed and the stacks of shoes, "are the stacks you will be going through and sorting out. What you do is you pick up a box, check the sixe and name, and find it in these racks to place them in their own slot. That's it!" he clapped his hands and I suddenly had a vision of Alice.
"I will be taking care of things up front, so all you two have to do is pay attention to this and you'll be fine!"
"Excuse me sir, but how many stacks of shoes are there?"
"Sixteen."
Darn. I thought it was twenty.
"Don't worry though, with both of you working together you should finish in no time!" he left it at that and left us, shutting the door.
"He seems happy," I said.
"He's just happy that he doesn't have to do it." Josh looked back over at the stacks and whistled. "Sorry I got you into this." I laughed and walked toward the stacks.
"Well, it won't be done if we just stand around. Will you show me how to do it correctly?"
Josh smiled. "Of course. Right this way, mademoiselle!" he skipped toward the boxes and I laughed, secretly hoping this wouldn't take too long.
After doing the first few boxes I finally got the hang of it and stopped asking josh questions. We even started talking after a while.
"So your mom lives in a town called Forks?" he started laughing and I swatted at him, which he easily dodged.
"What's so funny about that?" he chuckled and smiled at me.
"Nothing at all. It's just a funny name for a town. Forks…ha!" he started laughing again but I just picked up another shoebox and ignored him.
It was silent for a second then he asked, "so about you and Edward…"
I was instantly reminded of Alice and I groaned. "What about us?"
"Nothing bad, I'm just wondering if you like him." He didn't look at me as he said it, but picked up a shoebox and waited for my answer.
I checked the box I held and got up to take it to its slot. "I don't know," I answered truthfully. He chortled and I glared at him from behind one of the stacks.
"Well, do you think about him all the time?"
"No."
"Do you get jealous whenever you see him with a girl?" I thought about that one and realized he always seems to be with me.
"No."
"Have you kissed him before?"
I literally dropped the shoebox. I quickly picked it up, hoping he didn't hear it.
But once I heard him start laughing I knew he had.
"So you've kissed him, but you're not sure you like him…what did you fell during the kiss?"
"Sell, it wasn't really a 'kiss kiss' kind of kiss, it was a…bet kind of kiss."
"Someone dared you to kiss him?"
"No! Well, sort of…but I-it just, well, umm…" I couldn't form any sentence without saying the truth. I couldn't lie either! I'm terrible at lying.
"I'm confused," is all he said. "What are you trying to say?"
I groaned and walked out of the stacks, grabbing another shoebox. "Come on Bella," he pleaded, "just tell me. I won't judge." He smiled sincerely and waited for me to speak.
I sighed and put the shoebox down. "No judging," I said. He nodded quickly and I sat down in front of him.
And I told him. Everything.
--/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-
He blinked a couple times, his mouth opening but nothing coming out but a weird, "aaaahhhh…."
"Yea." I didn't know what else to say.
"So…" he tried to speak. "You didn't feel anything because…it wasn't a real kiss, it was a...sort of…'have to' kiss instead of a 'want to' kiss?" I nodded quickly and he picked up another shoebox. "Well, do you want a 'want to' kiss?"
I slowly picked up another box. We were on our last stack with about five more boxes left.
"Yes," I whispered. "I want to kiss him, not for the kissing contest, but for real." I saw Josh nod and smile.
"Well then, we should start planning, don't you think?"
I stood and looked at him. "Plan what?"
"You're next contest, of course!"
Suddenly, I'm not kidding, I saw Alice in his place, doing the exact same thing, clapping her hands and laughing at her evil plans.
What have I done?
