Sorry for the delay!

Some of this will be a tad redundant to Edward's dream, sorry about that. This is all in Flashback Bella form (still being heard from Edward) unless otherwise noted.

All I have to say is: Stephenie Meyers.


When Edward asked me to the Britney Spears concert I didn't know if I should jump up and down or punch him in the face. So many people before him had made fun of me for liking her music. Having spent all of my spare time with Edward had somehow made me overlook that she would be so close and I couldn't seem to contain myself when the commercial came on.

I reluctantly agreed, because honestly I wanted to see if Edward could actually manage to get us tickets when they were undoubtedly sold out. When he came through I thought I would die from excitement. The concert was beyond amazing.

Before I knew it everyone was leaving while I clung to Edward, following while he maneuvered us through the hoards of people. Finally we broke free of the crowd. Edward's hand wrapped around my waist protectively causing my heart to flutter erratically.

"Thank you. That must have been torture." I said before burying my face into his shirt inhaling all that was Edward. I could feel him swaying slightly and looked up to see him shaking his head in disagreement. "What are you thinking about?"

Edward looked down at me and I wondered if he regretted being here with me. Maybe this was the worst date of his life. His hand moved up to cup my cheek and I couldn't help but rest against his warm skin.

"I want to kiss you." He admitted. My heart felt as though it were beating in my throat. Everything began to feel like it was in slow motion. I pushed myself up on tiptoes at the same time that he leaned down towards me. His warm breath was on my face when suddenly my back was drenched in water.

Spinning around I watched a garbage truck descending down the street, the puddle it had just driven through still rippling from the aftereffects. Turning back to Edward I watched him double over in laughter, not a drop of water on him. He had essentially used me as a human shield.

"Oh you think that's funny do you?" I demanded, my face was burning with rage. Turning quickly on my heel I stormed away from him.

"Bella, wait!" I heard behind me, but I made no effort to stop. Edward's arm gripped my own, turning me towards him. "I'm sorry."

He looked truly sorry, but it didn't deter me. I jumped down quickly from the curb, and Edward moved as if to grab for me at the same time that water cascaded down onto him.

Standing in the same puddle that had splashed me I smiled wickedly up at Edward. He blinked once before a mischievous grin crossed his own features.

"Now Edward, let's not be rash." I tried to reason, both hands out in front of me defensively while I slowly tried to back away from him.

"Run." Was Edward's only warning before pouncing towards me. Squealing I took off across the street with Edward close behind me. I stopped by the fountain in front of the movie theater to see Edward on the other side.

"Now Edward, we're both not too wet that we can't still go to dinner."

Edward just shook his head, continuing to move towards me. I squealed again when I felt the brick wall behind me. In one fell swoop Edward had reached me, grabbing me up before he flung me over his shoulder. A giggle escaped me and I watched the stone walkway beneath us until Edward stopped and I could see the edge of the fountain.

"Edward!" I managed to yelp before I was submerged entirely in the water. It couldn't have been more then two and a half to three feet deep tops, which meant I was completely underwater until just below my breats. I sat stunned, looking up to see Edward eyeing me cautiously now.

"I'm sorry," Edward was apologizing this time, and I realized I probably looked pissed.

"I cannot BELIEVE you did that!" I shouted.

"Let me help you out," Edward offered, extending his hand to me, his face full of worry.

"You are damn right you'll help me out!" I retorted, grabbing hold of his forearm and tugging roughly. Before he could realize what had happened he had splashed in beside me, and I couldn't contain my laughter any longer. My head was thrown back in amusement. I was unable to control my giggles as I stared up into the stars, the tips of my hair lightly brushing the top of the water.

"Truce," Edward said softly, hovering slightly above me and it was my first chance to see just how good Edward looked wet. His face grew closer to mine and I could feel his body heat. My lips parted slightly in anticipation.

"HEY! What are you two doing in there?" A voice suddenly interrupted, a flashlight shining brightly in our face.

"Oh my god it's the fuzz!" Edward screamed. He sounded like a little girl and I couldn't help but laugh so hard that I was gripping my stomach.

"I'm going to pee in the fountain!" I exclaimed right before Edward grabbed my arm and hauled me onto dry land. With me still laughing, Edward pulled me into an alley before clamping his hand over my mouth and peeking around the corner.

"Edward," I mumbled beneath his fingers.

"Shhhhh!" He demanded, his eyes darting furtively around.

"What are you doing?" I managed to ask him in between gasps for air as I sought desperately to control myself. I hopped from foot to foot, trying not to pee my pants while I waited for him to respond, or give me the okay that we could get out of this alley.

"Bella, we almost just got arrested!" Edward exclaimed waving his arms around wildly.

"Edward, he was a security guard!" I erupted into a fit of laughter again.

"That dude totally had a gun!" Edward tried to retort while I stared at him. His clothes were all went now and clung to his skin. I watched as he pushed his hair back away from his face and the way his tongue darted out to wet his lips. He moved to go look around the corner again but I grabbed his arm, pulling him towards me.

"Don't worry about that; just kiss me." I demanded, my fingers wrapped into his hair pulling his face towards my own. Our lips were cold, but our tongues were hot as they collided together and I could feel both of our pulses racing before we finally broke away from one another.

"Whatever, I totally just saved your life," Edward mumbled, not ready yet to concede he had overreacted. The childish look on his face only made me start laughing again.


Bella looked up from her notebook, and I was pulled back into reality. She flashed me a smile, still trying to contain her laughter from that night, and I found myself grinning stupidly while shaking my head.

Jessica eyed us curiously, a huge grin on her face.

"Very good, very good," she murmured, writing a few things down in her notebook. I waited nervously to see what else she would say. Time seemed to pass slowly while the atmosphere changed from playful back to tense while I waited for Jessica to say anything else.

"Well that was really great, you both did wonderfully!" She exclaimed finally, clapping her pencil against her notebook. I wondered what she meant that we both did wonderfully, since I hadn't really done anything. She didn't elaborate any further, instead she stood indicating that our time was up.

"Next weeks assignment is to tell me the first time you said 'I Love You'."


Did I do okay with the fluff? A few more fluffy chapters, a little more back-story, and then back to the angst!
