25 - XOXOXOXO

I look up to meet his eyes and sigh.

It's the ultimate question.

"Do you want to go out on a date with me, Bella?"

I nod and smile softly, "We're kind of doing thing backwards, aren't we?"

He shrugs, "It doesn't matter. I'm sure your parents will like that version of events better anyways."

I laugh and kiss him chastely, "You know I'll go out with you."

"And, Bella?"

"Yeah?"

"No more calling me 'Cockblocker Cullen', please."

I hold his hand in mine; shake my head and smile, "No more."

We spend the rest of the vacation together, enjoying each other's company and flying under the radar with our parents.

It's hard but we manage it well.

Our parents are in their own little world. They're too used to having us kids all together, it's kind of rediculous that they just leave us be. I'm not complaining though.

Edward and I sit together on the plane ride home. On purpose this time.

When school starts on Monday, I join him in the parking lot before first bell and kiss him in front of everyone.

"Well, we might as well go public," I shrug and hold his hand as we walk towards Angela.

I hadn't had time to call her since I came home but by the look on her face, she saw us kiss.

"Well, Bella, about fucking time you two get it together," she smirks.

Turns out I was the only one oblivious to everything.

I guess our holiday in Aspen wasn't that bad after all.

THE END... well, not really!

Edward's POV outtakes next... Let's see what our boy's been thinking...
