Decisions Decisions

Walking out of the restroom I was looking into my purse for some lipstick when I ran into someone and had to hold onto the wall behind me to keep from falling. I felt a pair of arms hold onto my waist and then felt the electricity run through my body. Completely caught off guard I quickly panicked and looked up to see who it was that I had bumped into. Of course, when I did I looked into my favorite pair of green eyes.

"I'm sorry." I said straightening up and pulling back.

"No I'm sorry I should have waited against the wall instead of in front of it." Edward smiled lightly.

"True." I said smiling back politely. "So were you waiting for someone?"

"Yeah. Bella I know I don't deserve it but I really wanted to talk to you. I don't want to keep beating around the bush and avoiding each other. Do you think we can talk about things?"

"I agree Edward. I've been thinking the same." I said looking up into his eyes.

"Do you want to take a walk?"

"Sure" I nodded and turned to walk.

Together we walked out of the mall and to the park across the street.

"Bella I really want to apologize for what happened. I never wanted to hurt you and I should have never even thought about helping Lauren. I know that I can't take back anything that happened but I need you to know that I'm so sorry. I made a mistake and I know I have to live with that." Edward started

"Edward, what you did really hurt me. I trusted you and knowing that the same thing I did Lauren was doing really pissed me off. I know in my heart that you would never have fell for her but my head wasn't so sure. I know that I told you at that time that I wanted to be friends but in my heart I'm always going to want you more then that. I guess I've always known that with you in my life everything is worth living for but finding out that you were hiding something like that from me crushed me. If you love someone you share everything with them and you didn't do that. I know that you were probably just trying to be helpful but when you make a decision like that you have to think about the person it would affect. You know that Alice and I can't stand Lauren and would rather deal with her berate then have you wrapped up with her. You know that. And learning that you didn't trust me enough to handle my temperament is hurtful. I have changed and having Lauren tempt me will never make me revert to my old self. You not having that confidence in me tells me that you don't believe in me like I thought you did. That hurt, and that's why I was the way I was for two weeks. But you know Edward I have changed and I can fight my own battles and I'm going to show you that."

"Bella it's not that I don't believe in you because you know that's not true. I've always believed in you and you have changed. I just didn't want her to continue treating you badly; I can't stand when someone hurts you. Unfortunately because of that I was the one to end up doing exactly that. I love you Bella and I just want to protect you and sometimes what I think is protecting is not and I'm sorry for it. I know that you are strong and that you can fight your own battles but like I said I love you and I won't allow anything of anyone to even attempt to hurt you. I never want you to think that I don't believe, trust or love you because I do and I always will. I've learned from my mistake and it won't happen again but if you're asking me to never stick up for you then you're asking in vain because I could never do that. What I really want is to just at least try to be friends again. I don't want to lose you and if I have to continue to just be your friend that's better then to not have you in my life." He said as he stopped walking and looked over at me. "I just want a chance Bella to show you that I am truly sorry for what I did and that I truly care about you."

I stopped looking down at my hands and slowly raised my head to look at him. I knew that once I looked into those green orbs every bad thing I had felt before would vanish. When my brown eyes connected with his green ones I felt the same heat and electricity flow through my body. Everything I had felt before this squabble was back and it was stronger then before. Standing in front of me was the man that I loved and the man that I didn't want to live without. Slowly I raised my hand to his face and placed it on his cheek. I felt him flinch, I'm sure thinking I was going to slap him or something, and let out a little laugh.

"I'm not going to hurt you Edward." I smiled at him and he instantly relaxed. "I've missed this." I said staring at my hand on his cheek. The softness of his skin and the electricity running from his skin to mine was amazing. A moment later I felt his hand on mine and felt the shiver run through my body. It had been a long time since I had that feeling and it caught me by surprise.

"And I've missed you." Edward whispered grabbing my hand from his cheek and bringing it to his lips. When his lips touched my skin in the inside I felt the heat grow hotter and hoped that it didn't show on my face. Not having any control over what I could do I abruptly pulled away. "I'm sorry" he mumbled looking over at me.

"No don't be. I'm sorry I shouldn't have…" I said staring down at my hands.

"No it's my fault and I'm sorry…" Edward said again.

"Okay it's both our faults." I said smiling lightly trying to end the back and forth.

"Edward I don't want to be those two people that ignore each other for something that can't be changed. Everyone makes mistakes and I think that we should work on moving on." I said and then I remembered the text message. "Love means getting through the difficult times and"

"Knowing that one mistake won't change the way you feel for each other" Edward added and I looked up at him wondering how he would have known what I was about to say. Then everything clicked inside my head.

"Esme"

"Mom" we both said smiling at each other. Of course she would have sent us the same text.

"You're mother is a very insightful person. She has such an enormous heart." I whispered looking over at him.

"She does. She's always been the heart of the family and always loves passionately." Edward whispered and I noticed the twinkle in his eyes when he talked about her.

"So listening to your mother I refuse to let this ruin what we worked so hard on. I want this to be the last time something comes in between us so I want us to start fresh. I want to be your friend Edward and then we can talk about being us. I know that what I feel for you will never change and I want to work through this." I said looking at him as his eyes slowly turned bright green, which meant that he was happy.

"I agree, I do think that we need to start new and nothing makes me happier then you forgiving me. I promise Bella that I will spend everyday showing you how sorry I am for what I did."

"No Edward I don't want you to do that. I just want to start fresh and I want you to forget what happened as I'm going to try."

"Okay I promise." He smiled at me and took a step closer to me. "Now I think that this should be sealed with at a least a hug." He said with his lips close to my ear. His breathe against my skin made me shiver and he chuckled.

Deciding that two can play this game I moved my lips closer to his ear as well. "I believe that you are right Mr. Cullen." I whispered seductively and when he let out a small little grunt I knew my planned worked.

"Don't play with fire Edward because you'll end up getting burned." I laughed and then turned back towards the mall.

"Oh really, well that's something I'm willing to risk." He whispered standing behind me.

I held in the smile that was threatening to creep out. Being able to be back to normal with Edward was a great feeling and I knew I had made the best decision. "Well don't say I didn't warn you." I said and started to walk towards the mall. Edward joined me and together we walked back to the mall to meet back up with our friends.

"So I have a favor to ask." I said as we walked up the escalator in the mall.

"Sure, anything." Edward said behind me.

"I would like to go visit Esme."

"Sure, when do you want to go?"

"After these last few treacherous hours." I joked.

"Will do." He chuckled. "Let's hope Alice finishes early."

Suddenly thinking of something I turned to face Edward "Oh Edward I don't think you're feeling well." I said looking alarmed.

"Bella I think I'm fine." Edward said not getting what I was trying to say.

"No I don't think so I think we should tell Alice I should drive you home." I looked at him mischievously.

Realizing what I was getting at he smiled wickedly "Oh yes I think that pizza had something bad. I should really go home." He chuckled.

"Okay let me text that little pixie." I said pulling out my phone.

Umm Edward isn't feeling well so I'm bringing him home. I'll see you later okay. –B

Making our way back down the escalator my phone beeped.

Okay tell him I hope he feels better. Which I'm sure he does alreadyJ. We're going out tonight pick you up at 9! Dress to impress! –A

"What did the pixie say?" Edward said beside me.

"Apparently we're going out tonight." I sighed and put the phone back in my purse.

"Umm Bella" Edward said.

"Yeah"

"Do you know what today is?" he asked and I looked at him clueless.

"No, what?"

"Today is Alice's Birthday." He said.

"Oh My Gosh! I totally forgot! Oh I'm such a bad sister!" I squealed and pulled out my phone.

"Alice! I am such a horrible sister! I totally forgot! Happy Birthday little sis!" I shouted when she answered her phone not letting her get anything in.

"Bells its okay I understand. You'll make it up to me tonight!" she said chuckling.

"Okay I will I promise!" I said and then we said goodbye and hung up.

"You are a horrible friend!" I said turning to Edward and poking him on the chest.

"Oww, how am I a horrible friend?" he said rubbing his chest.

"You didn't tell me about her birthday."

"You weren't talking to me how was I supposed to tell you?" he said.

"True okay fine you're forgiven." I said back.

"Nope I'm forgiven but you're not! You just abused me for no reason!" Edward said standing in front of me next to his car.

"I'm sorry, did I really hurt you?" I said pouting.

"Yes you did and I don't forgive you." He said and took a step closer to me.

"Well I forgave you for something so I think you have to forgive me." I said crossing my hands and looking at him.

"Nope you said that's behind us, right?"

"Ugh true but still I'm sure you'll forgive me."

"Nope I don't think so." He took another step which left me against his car and him half an inch away from me.

"Well then what should we do about this?"

"I don't know what we should do." he whispered and I felt the electricity flowing again.

My heart started to thump faster and my hands ached to reach up and wrap around his neck. "Umm" was all that left my mouth as his lips crashed against mine. I quickly wrapped my arms where they wanted to be and kissed him back just as feverly. Nothing felt as good as his lips and body pressed against mine.

But all too quickly he pulled back leaning his forehead on mine. "I shouldn't have done that. I'm sorry." He whispered and I just stood there holding onto him knowing that what he was saying was right. We had to take it slow and this was far from it. I quickly took my hands from his neck and leaned against the car.

"I'm sorry too." I whispered looking down.

"umm maybe we should go visit Esme." Edward said opening the door for me. I nodded and sat in the car. Edward sat down on the drivers' side and turned the car on. "Bella" he sighed and looked over at me.

"It's okay Edward, let's try and forget that happened." I mumbled looking out the window. I didn't want to forget it because I loved the feeling I got when I was in his arms but I knew that we had to start off as friends.

"I was just going to say I'm happy we're friends again." He smiled and I turned a dark shade of red.

"Me too." I smiled back and leaned back on the seat. I was more then happy to have my best friend back.
