Have I thanked you guys for sticking with me? No? Yes? Whatevs, THANK YOU! MUCH LOVES! HOPE YA'LL STICK WITH ME 'TIL THE END 'cause I'm telling ya, Edward still has to tell Bella EVERYTHING.

My advice, listen to the song while/before reading this so you can understand Bella's reaction and why Edward sang it. Video is on my blog!

Let's start, eh?

36.

I SWEAR, THIS TIME I MEAN IT

*.*- BELLA'S POV -*.*

I can't help but moan as he sings.

His voice is so beautiful... it's perfect for the song.

The guitar arrangement is perfect...

The lyrics... shit.

I knew it.

He stops singing and playing all together to look me straight in the eyes.

I can't breathe.

"Bella, I'm so sorry for all the fuckery I've done to you these past few days, but please, even just for once, listen to me." He pauses.

No, please, no, I chant internally. Don't do it, Edward.

"I've been wanting to tell you this for five -"

"Edward," I whisper, "why me?"

He looks taken a back, offended. "Why not?"

I groan. I don't wanna ruin this friendship. "There are so many other girls to choose from." I duck my head, ashamed that I will say this to my best friend. "I... I only like you as a friend, Edward."

He lets out a small huff. I chance a peek through my eyelashes to see him pinching the bridge of his nose.

I cannot let this happen. I need to fix this. Right now.

"Edward, I told you, there are other girls out there. Like, like," I ramble, thinking of someone out there that can be for Edward, "Rosalie Hale!"

He cocks an eyebrow in question. "Rosalie Hale? The new-comer ballroom dancer who won in Dancing With the Stars?"

I snicker despite the serious conversation. He knows. That can only mean one thing...

He watches it.

"Hey, I'm not watching that show! I just..." he trails off, "I know it."

I roll my eyes and snort. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. I'm just saying, you'll look great with her."

"You don't know shit," he counters, leaning closer to me.

I do not get the mentality of this guy! I keep telling him to stop, but he won't listen to me. Hmm... I'm not counting the homecoming dinner night. I really just felt like uttering that shit over and over, trying to push him to the limit.

Okay, so, I'm not convincing enough... even to myself. Great! Insert sarcasm.

"Bella," he murmurs before his lips land on mine. It's just a simple peck, but it's enough to aggravate me.

I quickly remove my face from his. "Edward! I just told you I-"

He cuts me off with another kiss and then smirks.

I narrow my eyes and make a move to run away.

What the hell is with Edward? He never listens!

Edward:*pouting* Bella never listens to what I say! Why should I listen to her?

Oh, Edward... *facepalm*
