Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight :(

Perhaps my anger had zonked me out, or it could've been Edward's sweet taste still fresh on my lips. Oh how I longed for that taste.

That was the first night I dreamed of Edward Cullen.

Edward sat in front of me, smiling his beautiful crooked smile. I reached forward to touch him but he wasn't there. In his place, stood Jake. He towered over me, casting a shadow. I moved back in fear and then felt warm arms wrap themselves around me. Edward was there, holding onto me. Then the shadow disappeared and the heavens opened, letting the sun flow down onto me in amazing rays. The sun looked like it was reflecting off Edward's skin, he shone underneath it, like he was an angel. My angel.

I sat up immediately, having woken startled from the dream. I rubbed my eyes and my room came into focus around me. When I glanced over at the clock, it read 6:30. While I knew it was a sunday and I had no reason to be up, I also knew I wouldn't be able to get back to sleep with the dream on my mind. I suppose it was sweet in a twisted way, but it still scared me. Jake had become something truly terrifying in my dream, when in reality he actually did have some redeeming qualities. He couldn't change for me, I realise that now.

At first I wondered what that could possibly mean. While I'd always thought Jacob was selfish at times, I worried that perhaps I was being a bit old-fashioned and prude-like, but if we weren't fighting about that, I'm sure it would be something else. He couldn't change for me. Did this mean I was officially over it? That chapter of my life over? I contemplated that for a while before deciding that the Jacob chapter closed as soon as mine and Edward's lips touched the first time. I smiled at the thought and jumped up out of bed and into the bathroom.

I took a long, warm shower and then changed into my comfy sweats and t-shirt before heading downstairs to make myself some breakfast. I'd almost forgotten the events of last night, until I looked over to the empty loveseat and felt my heart thud in my chest. Then I scanned the rest of downstairs and saw that Charlie was sitting at the table in the kitchen. I proceeded downstairs, with the intention of ignoring Charlie if he wasn't going to apologize.

He looked up quickly when he heard me, but looked back to the newspaper in front of his face. I walked over to the fridge and pulled out some milk then got a bowl and some cereal from the cupboards. I sat down on the opposite side of the table which Charlie also sat at, however, his newspaper created a wall between us so we didn't have to look at one another. That is, until he lowered it and gazed over at me.

I narrowed my eyes, glaring at him before turning my attention to the cereal.

"Bella?" Charlie called softly.

"Yes?" I said in an emotionless tone.

"I'm sorry Bells, I was rude and unfair last night. I'm sorry that I wasn't paying more attention to you and Jake and let my own liking for the boy haze my perception. I'm sorry for yelling at Edward, too."

I looked up at Charlie and gave him a warm smile.

"Thanks, Dad. Honestly we weren't doing anything, don't let that change how you feel about Edward. He is a good person. You will like him just as much as Jake, if not more, if you actually get to know him," I said, my tone sounding slightly pleading. I didn't want to fight with Charlie. We are all eachother has in Forks, in terms of family.

"I will disregard last night and try to revert to how I felt about him before that, because I know it means a lot to you. I owe you that." Charlie said. He was normally a man of few words, but clearly he felt bad for the words passed last night, just like I did. We were unfair on one another, even if it was more so from Charlie's end.

"Is Edward your boyfriend?" He asked.

"Well, no," I admitted. "It's confusing, we know we like one another but he doesn't want to push me so soon after Jake. I've decided that whole Jake chapter is finished, done, over." I felt slightly awkward talking about this with my father, but it was reassuring that I knew he would be feeling just as awkward. Us Swan's weren't overly extroverted people. Renee is, but I didn't seem to inherit much of that from her.

Charlie decided to go over and watch some sports with Jacob's father, Billy, while Jacob's mother, was out shopping with Jessica Stanley's mother. This was like their tradition. While the women shopped, they would fit in as much sports as they could. Watch as much as they could, I should say.

I sometimes felt bad that Charlie didn't have a wife who could cook him meals, wash his clothes and make sure he looked presentable. While Charlie was fairly self sufficient, I knew he missed Renee a lot, even after all these years.

I took advantage of having the house to myself by spreading out in the lounge room. I put Romeo and Juliet on, the version with Leonardo DiCaprio and settled into the couch. I had placed all my English books out on the floor, deciding it would be much easier to write an essay on Romeo and Juliet if I'd actually seen it played out.

After the film finished and I'd completed my homework, Charlie arrived home. He brought home some pasta bake from Billy's for us to have for lunch. It felt strange to be eating a meal prepared by my ex-boyfriend's mother but it was good nonetheless.

The rest of the day slipped away into the night and then I took myself up the bed, the next day on my mind. I wondered what Edward would do when he saw me. How we would act around one another. Please don't be awkward.

I drifted off to an easy sleep. I dreamt of Edward again, it was almost the same dream except Jacob wasn't there at all. Edward held me in his arms because he wanted to. He wasn't just here to protect me, but because he liked me.

I slept in the next day and rushed into the shower and pulled on jeans and a random sweater I found, before racing downstairs and shoving some bread in my mouth. I was out at the door of my car when I thought, oh no I cannot go to school without having brushed my teeth. I threw my bag into my car and ran back into the house and very thoroughly...would Edward kiss me today though, anyway?

I hurried off to school and parked three spots down from Edward's Volvo. I'd gotten so used to his car these past few weeks, it seemed like a tradition we had of him driving me practically everywhere except school. It was understandable though. I liked my truck but not many other people did, especially when a nice shiny Volvo was involved.

I headed straight to first period biology, arriving just seconds before the bell rang. I walked into the classroom and found that Alice was already seated at our table, while Edward now sat at the bench behind us.

"Morning!" She greeted me, eagerly as always. I smiled back at her and then looked over to Edward and gave him a small wave. He had a small smile across his face and he waved back. Alice eyed our 'communication' then looked at me for some explaination.

I sat down next to her and she was instantly scribbling on a piece of paper. She put it in front of me and it read;

OMG You didn't reply to any of my messages. How was the date? Did he kiss you?

I rolled my eyes at her then laughed before writing back my reply.

It was really, really great. He took me to his house which is beautiful and cooked us a meal. We kissed. A lot. Charlie caught us and yelled.

I heard Alice squeal in excitement as she read my response then she jotted down again on the piece of paper.

OMG! WAS HE A GOOD KISSER?! Bella! I can't believe you. It must've been pretty bad if Charlie yelled! Why was he making out with you at your house anyway?

I sighed before jotting down my response. So many questions...

Very good. He dropped me home and I invited him in. This sounds bad but I kind of got on top of him on the lounge and we were making out. Thats what Charlie saw.

Alice didn't seem to have words for that, her jaw fell open and she looked at me in disbelief. She muttered something to herself before giving me an encouraging smile. "Well done, Bella. No wonder he seemed so happy this morning," She whispered.

I turned around and gave Edward a warm smile. "Ms Swan, stop staring at Mr Cullen and focus on the lesson at hand!" The teacher barked at me. I turned back to the front and felt my cheeks burning while some people snickered in the room.

Finally the lesson ended and Alice bounded out before I could even say goodbye. I lingered behind, as did Edward and finally we were the only ones in the classroom. I walked over to the door but I felt Edward's hand on my shoulder.

"Hey," he whispered in my ear as he pulled me into a hug. I pulled my arms around his waist and let my face rest against his chest. He kissed me lightly on the forehead before saying "I was wanting to hold you that whole lesson."

I looked up at him and smiled before kissing him full on the lips. The warning bell tolled, breaking up our moment of passion and we raced off to our respective classes. I knew it was pointless me even trying to focus on school. All I would be thinking about was Edward's sweet taste which lingered on my lips.
