Soooooo…. Did anyone see Entertainment weekly this week? I did! I am going to attain a copy of it for myself. Edward looks be-a-u-tiful and Bella looks so pretty! I need a copy arg…but my dad is all like "Arielle, you are too obsessed" and then I was all like 'puppy dog face' please. I think it was affecting him because he would not look me in the face.
P.S. If you have no idea what I am talking about, check out Stephanie Meyer's website.
BELLA POV
Today we are swimming. This is going to be…interesting.
Since the day I started walking, I had never been able to walk right.
I would always trip on random things like tree roots, rock, my feet and most of all air.
I knew that I had been getting lucky on this trip; I had barely made a fool of myself by falling on my face.
My swimming skills happen to be quite similar to my walking skills.
I can swim, but I can't swim right.
First of all, I am a bit short, which totally makes it hard for me to stand in water. Second, I can swim, but there is a catch…I look like a drowning dog.
Have you ever heard of doggy paddle? My swimming technique is doggy paddle with "character".
When I say "character" I mean my hands are flailing around like I am having a pathetic girl fight.
So when Alice said today was swimming day, you could probably deduce that I was not excited.
"Alice, do I really have to go swimming today?" I begged for the millionth time this morning.
"Oh, Bella, Bella, Bella. I have already bought you a wonderful bikini for you to wear and you will be expected to wear it, in the lake, with Edward, today" she paused as my face fell "and Emmett will teach you how, before everybody arrives".
This is part where I am supposed to say "WHAT!?" so I did.
"Emmett was on the swim team when he was in high school; therefore, he is the best teacher for you"
Finally, I had to give up. After all, Alice will be Alice.
As she set the table for us to eat the wonderful brunch which Jasper cooked, I grumbled "you win" pathetically.
"Let's eat!" Jasper called up the stairs.
"All right!" everyone called back.
Edward came rushing down, followed by everyone else who was still upstairs. Edward took a seat next to me and kissed my temple as he went to sit down.
"Ready for the lesson Bella?" Emmett asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be" I sighed.
"What's this I hear about a lesson?" Edward wondered.
"Emmett is going to teach me how to swim" I stated.
Edward cough/laughed "Would you mind if I joined you?"
"NES!" came me and Emmett reply, Emmett said no but I said yes so it got combined.
Edward looked to Emmett "Why can't I come?"
Emmett shrugged "Then I can't make fun of Bella's swimming ability while making her blush seventy-four different shades of red. You'll stop me if you come along".
I glared at Emmett "IIIIII" I prolonged the vowel "think that you coming along would be a great idea".
Edward grabbed my hand and kissed it "Thank you Bella"
Emmett rolled his eyes.
"Want to leave after we eat?" Emmett asked.
"Do I have any other choice?" I wondered.
"No" Emmett and Alice said at the same time.
We left after eating and gathering the necessary materials for swimming. The lake was nice and clear when we got there; I dipped my toes in and jumped back. The water was freezing.
"Oh my gosh!" I squealed.
The two boys looked at me, confused.
"The water is so cold" I whined.
"Psh" Emmett said as he jumped into to the Antarctic water.
Emmett made a huge splash and came back up yelling "ARG! it is cold"
"Come on Bella join me" Emmett tried to recover himself.
"Yea, after you jump out of the water like a dying fish and tell me it is freezing, now I really want to hop in there" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes.
Before I could continue with my witty response, I was being pushed forward and off the edge of the dock. The "ahhhhhh" was interrupted by water surrounding my face and a sudden rush of cold enveloping me. I came to the surface of the lake, gasping as I breathed in the air I needed
I turned to see Edward pointing and laughing at me from on top of the dock. Apparently, he was the one who pushed me in.
I narrowed my eyes at him, about to say that I would get him back for that but then my eyes zeroed in on a moving figure behind him. A big moving figure.
While Edward had been laughing at my fall and gasping "You-ha-should have-ha-seen your-ha-face-hahaha", Emmett had climbed out of the water and was now approaching and unsuspecting Edward.
With a sudden swoop of the arms, Emmett had Edward in an 'over-the-threshold' carrying stance. Emmett stepped to the edge and yelled "Geronimo!" as he threw Edward into the depths of the lake.
Edward came back up gasping for breath with a very funny but surprised look on his face.
Edward pointed a finger to me as I was cracking up and holding onto a side of the dock, "Why didn't you warn me?" he glared.
I gasped out the words "pay-ha-back".
"Okay, okay, lets teach Bells how to swim now" Emmett said before joining us in the water.
Emmett came over to me and told me to float on my back, after I was able to achieve this we proceeded to float on my stomach and then eventually I was swimming smoothly. Who knew freestyle could be so much fun!?
I went over to thank Emmett in the water and threw my arms around him "Thanks Em!" I said.
"Where is my thank you?" Edward pouted.
I swam over to him and came about an inch from his lips and said "Right here". With that I put my lips on Edward's. At first it started out like every other kiss that we had ever had. But soon the kiss became harder. I pressed my lips more firmly on Edwards.
Suddenly, I felt Edward tongue on my bottom lip. Of course I granted him entrance, the kiss was new and exciting.
Just as Edward was about to explore my mouth, I felt a wave of water engulf us and knock us down.
"Get a room!" Emmett yelled after he came back up from the cannonball wave that had just swallowed us up.
Edward kissed my lips lightly again and whispered "That was new".
I blushed and said "I liked it"
"You did?" he raised an eyebrow.
I knodded "Of course I did Edward, I like anything I do with you"
I flashed an ultrawhite smile at me "I like anything I do with you Bella"
I blushed and splashed him.
Everyone arrived soon after.
"I brought the toys" Rosalie announced.
"That's what she said" Emmett said.
We all rolled our eyes again.
"What kind of toys?" Emmett asked insinuating an innuendo.
"Oh just some balls" Rosalie paused and blushed "I mean WATER balls" she said over our laughter.
"Whatever Rose" Emmett said with a peck on her lips.
We swam around for a while 'throwin balls around' as Emmett put it. Soon it became near twilight and we all climbed out of the water.
Emmett, Rose, Alice, and Jasper took a different trail then us. Well technically, we took a different trail then them because just as I was about to walk down the trail to follow them, Edward pulled me back and whispered "follow me" into my ear, brushing his lips against my cheek.
He took my hand and led me down another trail. As soon as we were out of sight of the entourage that always was with us, Edward brought me to his chest.
"Do want to try the kiss again?" Edward asked, still leaving me an option.
I nodded and put my arms around his neck, pulling me closer to him. He happily obliged and put his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to him.
He ferverently put his lips to mine, pressing harder than before, the kiss went on like this for about a minute before Edward brought his hands into my hair and brushed my lips with his tongue. I gasped and opened my mouth to let him in.
His tongue traced my teeth and then we switched. We went on for a bit before Edward pulled back and his forehead against mine.
"That was amazing", Edward managed in between breaths.
"I second that notion" I told him. "We should try it again" I said, trying to bring his mouth back to mine.
He kissed me softly and then pulled back, "We should get back, the cabin" he chuckled "the others will be wondering where we are"
I smiled because I knew where we were (and what we were doing).
He led us back to the cabin, hand in hand.
EDWARD POV
I wanted to kiss her again, but I knew that we had to get back.
As we entered the house, everyone was sitting on the couches. They turned around as the door creaked and started giving us kissing faces.
"Oh shut up" I muttered.
I heard Bella giggle from next to me as everyone cracked up.
We finished off the night with a dinner made by Bella and Rosalie; they made fish and French fries.
As I said goodbye to Bella at her door, we shared a kiss that was similar to the one we shared at the lake. It was toned down for our audience a bit but still showed our emotion to each other.
As I climbed into bed I realized something.
I love Bella.
I lover her and care about her more than any other person in my life.
Even more than my mother.
I want to tell her but would if she doesn't feel the same way? If I told her, it would just push her away.
No, I will wait until I am sure that we feel the same about each other.
I will not ruin this relationship with three words.
How did you all like Bella and Edward's first make out session? I liked it, a lot. I put a new poll on my profile to see if you guys want a sequel once this story is done. Please tell me how much you hated/loved this chapter. Truly, I want to know your opinion. Also, I am a bit new to this whole fanfiction site so what is a C2 archive? Tell me! I want to know.
What do you want?
