Bella's POV

I continued to bang on the door futilely for a few minutes. I knew it wouldn't work but I wanted to put off talking to Edward for as long as I could. Eventually I just pressed my back against the wall and slid onto the floor. It was a tiny bathroom, just a toilet and sink, and my legs were pressed against Edward's. I tried to move them as far away as I could in the limited space, even though I loved the feeling of my body against his. It was dark too, so my feet kept hitting stuff. The room was filled with an awkward silence that seemed to be amplified in the small space. My palms were beginning to sweat and I felt like I might cry.

"I can't believe Alice," Edward finally sighed. "I can't believe any of them."

"When Alice wants something she doesn't stop till she gets it," I replied quietly. I couldn't tell in the limited light but I thought Edward was watching me. I could feel his eyes searching for mine but I refused to look at him.

"That's true." There was another awkward silence.

"Should we…" I began but lost my nerve. I cleared my throat. "Never mind," I whispered, flushing red. Oh God, why do I have to be so easily flustered?

"Should we get this over with and just give them what they wanted?" Edward finished my unspoken thought.

"I guess so." Neither of us spoke.

"Can I ask you something Bella?" Edward asked quietly.

"You just did," I pointed out, stalling. I bit my lip nervously.

"Well can I ask you another?" he asked, and I could hear the smile in his voice.

"Um, okay," I said softly, nervously.

"Why did you hook up with Tom?" His voice sounded half curious half pained. I stared at my hands and took a deep breath.

"I don't really know," I began, determined to be honest. "I mean, we were drunk the first time-" He cut me off.

"Wait, how many times did this happen?" he asked, his voice outraged and slightly disgusted.

"I don't know. Five, maybe six? It never went further then kissing, not that he didn't try to take it further," I said with an annoyed snort. Every time we kissed, even a little peck, he instantly tried to rip my shirt off. It was so frustrating.

"Well why? Why'd you hook up with him?" His voice was desperate.

"I guess…I guess I just needed someone to comfort me." I hated how weak and sad my voice sounded. "I mean, he was so sweet at first. And I saw you with Liz and I just-" I stopped myself, blushing again. Way to show him how desperate you were for him, I scolded myself.

"Wait you didn't start liking Tom until after I asked out Liz?" Edward asked, his brow furrowing slightly.

"I never really liked him. I had hoped I could learn to like him but it just never happened. I only…" I took a deep breath, preparing to take a leap into the darkness, despite the nerves bubbling in my stomach. "I only went out with him because I was mad you were going out with Liz. I hoped he could help me…feel better. And maybe make you jealous." The last part came out as a barely understandable mumble but I could tell he knew what I said.

"So you weren't planning on doing anything with Tom until after you heard about Liz and I?" he clarified.

"Yes," I muttered. Behind the embarrassment, I was starting to get angry. Why was he making me admit that I cared, and still care, about him? Just to embarrass me?

"That's weird," he said slowly. He opened his mouth to continue but I couldn't control the hot anger that bubbled up in my throat and before I knew it I was yelling.

"Well you know not everyone can get over people in a day!" I snapped, suddenly pissed. I mean, he makes me admit that I was jealous of Liz and him and then he goes and makes fun of me about it. What a jerk! "It's your fault we're even in this damn mess!"

"How is it my fault?" he burst. "I'm not the one who shoved us in here and locked the door."

"Yes but if you hadn't…" I trailed off. No way was I going to say that. I wanted to tell him how it was his fault for pushing me away when I needed him the most. But it really wasn't. It was my fault, one hundred percent. I would never be good enough for him.

"If I hadn't what?"

"Nothing! I'm not going to sit here and let you make a fool out of me." I crossed my arms over my chest and bit my lip again, trying not to cry as a blush made it's way up my cheeks.

"No Bella I think you're making a fool out of yourself by making absolutely no sense at all right now!" he snapped. Tears stung at my eyes. He just kept putting me down, hurting me when I already had too much pain to bear. And before I knew it I was sobbing. I heard Edward take a deep breath and he stood up. I held my face in my hands, leaning my elbows against my knees. Then I felt him sliding down next to me. He put one arm over my shoulder but I shrugged him off.

"Bella," he whispered, his voice repentant. "I'm sorry. That was mean. I'm just confused."

"Th-that makes t-two of us," I replied bitterly.

"What're you confused about?" he asked.

"You!" I yelled. I felt myself jumping up and words tumbling out of my mouth. Things I had held back for so long, finally able to be put into words. "I really thought you liked me Edward! I mean, we became so close so fast, and I found myself caring about you in a way I had never even felt before. And you admitted to being jealous about Jacob and…you let me sleep in your bed. When we kissed after truth or dare and you said I was the best kiss you'd ever had and how good it was. But you must have been lying, because you pushed me away the first time I really kissed you. And then I could've sworn you were going to kiss me that night when Jacob came. And then when Jacob and I break up, I go to you because I knew what I wanted. I had made my choice long before Jake cheated on me. And I finally, finally do something outgoing and daring, something that I had wanted to do for so long. And what do you do? You push me away! You tell me you don't want me. After everything that had happened between us! What, now that I was single you didn't want me anymore? Was it just some sort of game? Or was I just never good enough and I had fooled myself into thinking you liked me? I need to know Edward." Only at the end of my little speech did the anger fade and the true pain I was feeling break into my voice. I heard Edward stand up next to me and I stared at my shoes. He placed his hands on either side of my face, lifting it up to look me in the eyes.

"Bella…I did like you. I always did."

"Then why did you stop me? Why did you push me away?" I asked, my voice cracking. I didn't care anymore how weak I sounded, how clear my pain was. I just needed to know.

"Because…I wanted things between us to be real, if they ever happened. I didn't want to be the guy you used to get over Jacob. I wanted to be someone you truly cared about not just someone you use to help patch you up." He somehow managed to make his voice angry and soothing at the same time. Maybe I was only soothed because I hadn't heard his voice in so long. The voice that I loved. "I didn't want to have you for a few weeks and then get my heart broken when you found another guy you really loved. If we got together Bella, I wanted it to be for real."

"It was for real. It was real to me. I didn't kiss you because I wanted comfort," I said, making the word sound like a swear. "I kissed you because I wanted you. Because." I paused and took a deep breath. I had come this far. Might as well go the whole way. "Because I loved you. But you clearly didn't want me or love me so I decided to make it easier for you. I knew…" My throat felt like it was going to close up but I somehow managed to keep talking. "I knew that if I kept spending so much time with you I wouldn't be able to hold myself back. I would always want to kiss you, to touch you or hold you. And I didn't want to make things any worse then they already were. So I told you I'd stay away. And I wanted you to stay away cause it would make it easier to resist you. If you weren't going to love me then I wasn't going to sit around torturing myself." I realized how pathetic I sounded and tears made their way down my cheeks.

"Bella...you only figured out you wanted me after you dumped Jacob and-" He stopped when I started shaking my head. His hands were still soft on my cheeks but he let me look at my shoes again.

"No. I choose you after Jacob left. I realized who I wanted, who I needed in my life. And it certainly wasn't Jacob. I was planning on dumping him anyways," I explained.

"But you were crying," Edward started but I cut him off again.

"Of course. It is hard to lose your first love, even when you have something better, even when you love someone else. Especially the way he had disrespected me. That was hard. But I figured…I had you. I would take all the pain Jacob could dish out to me, as long as I had you." My voice cracked again.

"Bella…I had no idea," he breathed. "I thought you didn't really want me. I thought you just…needed someone to hold you and help you get over Jacob. Especially the next day when you told me you wanted me to stay away. I thought you had realized how I felt about you and didn't feel the way. I thought that you didn't want me and thought it would be easier if we didn't spend so much time together, so I could get over you." I shook my head in disbelief.

"But you pushed me away. How was I supposed to know that you wanted me? It didn't seem like it. I thought you didn't want me." Edward's hands tightened a bit on my face and he lifted me up to look at me again.

"Bella. I always wanted you. Pretty much since the day you came. Every time we touched or kissed it was like magic. It was the best experiences of my life. I could never not want you. I loved you Bella and I still do," he said with sincerity ringing in every word. I felt my heart catch in my throat.

"Then why?"

"Why what?"

"Why did you call Liz. If you wanted me, why did you call her?" I asked, my voice weak.

"Well…Tom sort of made it seem like you two were together." I was going to kill Tom. Murder him. "I figured since you were dating someone then I would too. Basically, I did it to get you jealous." He grinned sheepishly.

"So you never really liked Liz?" I asked.

"No. I thought maybe I could learn to like her. That's why I said it was weird what you were saying about Tom earlier. It's the same way I was feeling towards Liz." I blushed. That was when I had flipped out on him because I thought he was calling me weird. Oops.

"So you and Liz are officially over then?" I asked.

"Of course."

"And…do you still…want me?" I asked, my voice hardly a whisper.

"I'll always want you Bella," he answered huskily. He moved his hand to the back of my neck. "Do you want me?"

"Yes," I breathed. It was all I could manage. His lips were only an inch from mine.

"Good. Cause I don't think I can live another day without you. I've been pretty much an empty shell without you, devoid of the love and friendship that you had showed me," he admitted. He gave me an apologetic smile. "I know it might be too soon to say this but it's true so I'm just going to say it. I love you Bella. You are the love of my life. I have loved you since the day I met you. And I always will." I stood there, stunned. But somehow, someway I formed the words.

"I love you too Edward. Always and forever." And with that, his lips were on mine. I felt the sparks and electricity, the magic and love that I had missed for so long. In that kiss, all was forgiven. The month apart, of not speaking and of using other people. It was all wiped away with our lips. Gone. This kiss was special. It was a kiss of stored love, of hidden fire. His lips were soft but they pressed hard against mine. His tongue was smooth and melted against mine like butter. Nothing in the world could compare to kissing Edward.

His fingers were clutching at my hair and I was rubbing my hands up and down his chest, tracing his muscles, memorizing every inch of him. One of his hands moved to my waist and he pulled me even closer to him. I mashed my lips against his as hard as I could, with as much love and passion as I could manage. This kiss was magic, fire, passion, lust, electricity. This kiss was true love.

All too soon he was pulling away, chuckling.

"I love kissing you Bella," he said happily.

"Then why'd you stop?" I mumbled sexily, raising one eyebrow as I pulled him closer. He pressed his lips to mine, very sweetly and his lips felt like velvet against mine. But he pulled away again before we could deepen it.

"Because as much as I love kissing you, I'm sick of sitting in this cold, dark bathroom, locked in the basement," he answered my rhetorical question.

"Oh right." I had completely forgotten about that actually. In fact, I didn't really care where we were, as long as we were together. Kissing Edward has that effect on my mind.

"I think we need to get revenge," he murmured. An idea popped into my mind and I grinned wickedly.

"And I know just what to do," I whispered. And then I raised my voice, loud enough so I knew they could hear upstairs. "Oh Edward," I moaned. "Oh, that feels so good," I sighed. Edward stared at me with wide eyes before comprehension dawned on him. He chuckled silently before joining in.

"Mmm, Bella," he groaned loudly. He banged his body against the wall, making it sound like the two of us were banging against the wall. "Oooh," he moaned.

"Edward, oh yeah Edward," I gasped. We were both laughing silently in between our fake moans. "Harder baby!" He was laughing.

"Anything for you! Ugh, Bella, you feel so good," he half yelled. I knew they could hear us perfectly. "Yes, yes, yes."

"Edward," I gasped. Then I giggled. I heard footsteps pounding down the stairs and I started banging on the door, making it sound like…well you know.

"Bella, ugh, yeah Bella," Edward panted, hearing the footsteps.

"That's it Edward, harder," I groaned.

"OH MY GOD YOU GUYS EW!" I recognized Alice's high-pitched shriek. "WE CAN HEAR YOU AND THAT'S SO FREAKING DISGUSTING!" Edward and I couldn't hold in our laughter and we both burst into noisy laughter.

"Congrats Edward!" Emmett yelled.

"Are you two finished? Do you want us to let you out?" Rosalie asked.

"Um," I said, making my voice sound embarrassed. "Can you just wait a second?" I turned to Edward and winked. "Where's my bra?" I asked in a loud, fake whisper. I heard Alice gag outside.

"Okay, we're ready," Edward said after a few moments. I quickly tousled his hair and mine, so it looked messy. The door opened slowly.

"I can't believe you two," Rosalie sighed. "You're worse than me and Emmett. At least we wait until no one is home if we're going to make that much noise."

"We just couldn't contain ourselves Rose. I had to have him right there," I said. She made a face.

"Should we tell them how it was Bella?" Edward asked.

"No, spare me please!" Alice yelled, covering her ears with her hands.

"Well actually, considering all we did was kiss, I don't think you'd really mind Alice," I said casually.

"Wait what?" she asked.

"We weren't actually doing it in your bathroom," I said, bursting into giggles. "Gotcha!"

"I hate you Bella Swan," Alice groaned, realizing what we had done. Edward and I couldn't hold our laughter in and we both fell to the ground laughing.

"Well either way, I'm glad you two are finally together," she said with a satisfied smirk.

"I agree with that Alice," I said. Edward wrapped his arm around me and pulled into his lap while we stayed on the floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cuddled into him.

"I told you so!" she teased. I stuck my tongue out at her.

"Well we're going to bed. Goodnight you two lovebirds," Rosalie sang, taking Emmett with her.

"Us too," Alice agreed. "I am pretty much scarred for life after hearing that, even if it was fake, and I need some sleep. Hopefully I won't have nightmares. Nighty night!" She took Jasper by the hand and the two of them ran upstairs.

"Let's sleep down here tonight," Edward suggested gently. We both stood up and he pulled out a blanket and we snuggled onto the couch. In the limited space, I had to really squeeze against Edward, not that I minded.

"Goodnight Edward," I sighed into his chest. He pulled my lips to his once more, for one last sweet, tender kiss.

"Goodnight my love."
