AN: I have the best readers ever! You didn't just get me to 100 reviews but…101, yay! Thanks so, so much!
At the end of the last chapter I tried to write about a twilight website, I guess your not allowed to so I hope I got back to everyone that wanted it. Today they have up pics and secrets from the cliff diving scene.
Here's a story you should really check out…Twice in a lifetime Singer by flamingo1325 ….I stayed up all night one night reading it, it's full of angst and it broke my heart at parts and made me cry. I must say I like the alt. ending better.
I do not own twilight!

I had no idea where we were going just that we had to drive half of the way and run the rest. We all piled in the jeep and because of the lack of room Edward pulled me onto his lap. He was off tonight, I couldn't put my finger on it but there was something definitely going on inside that beautiful head of his. His eagerness was borderline funny and him pulling me onto his lap was definitely new. The closeness sent warm tingles through my body even though he kept his hands politely still on my arms. I couldn't help but wonder if maybe Alice was right, maybe he was affected by me tonight, probably not, but I could hope, I looked back at him and smiled.
We ran up rugged terrain and it became quite apparent why humans wouldn't come here, even as vampires we were slowed down a little. We climbed over the last batch of rocks when I saw a beautiful clearing nestled in the mountain top, it didn't compare to the beauty of the meadow but it was still magical. The moonlight shined down illuminating the water as the stars danced and flickered in the reflection. I breathed out in awh and caught Edward starring at me.
"It's something else, isn't it?" he leaned in and whispered in my ear like it was a secret.
The coolness of his breath on my ear made my voice catch in my throat so I just nodded.
Before I knew it Alice was grabbing my hand and we were skipping forward with a barely dressed Rose in tow, she had already shed her sweatshirt.
The boys followed but hung back to make a fire, I really wasn't sure why we needed one but Alice insisted it would help us dry off afterwards.
Alice pulled Rose and I to the edge of the pristine mountain water and spoke lowly so the boys couldn't hear. "Okay Bella, here's your chance, just follow our lead."
She took a step forward and I starred at her in confusion until she began doing a sexy little strip tease as realization hit me. Panic flooded me as I realized what Alice wanted me to do and it was at that moment I wished vampires could get drunk because it would make this a hell of a lot easier.
I watched Alice shimmy out of her sweatshirt and sway her hips seductively as she slid her little sun dress she had on over her light pink bikini down her body and kicked it away. Alice's bikini was way more modest than mine and I wished for her boy shorts she had on, Rose on the other hand stripped out of her clothes to reveal a bright red string bikini if that's even what you could call it, it had the tiniest top I'd ever seen and a thong to match. I turned around to gauge the boys reaction and saw Jasper and Emmett starring open mouthed at their wives. They started moving towards them as I heard the girls splash into the water behind me.
"Come on Bella!" Alice sang out from behind me as I saw Edward's head snap up from where he was kneeling by the fire. His eyes bore into mine as the light from the fire danced across the perfect features of his face making his eyes smolder. The look in his eyes gave my self esteem a boost and pushed me ahead, I swallowed hard and grabbed the hem of my sweatshirt and yanked it off.

I was poking the fire Alice had insisted on with a stick in deep thought. I hadn't even noticed my brother's walk away until I heard Alice call Bella's name. My head snapped up and I was met with Bella's beautiful eyes, she looked torn and I wondered what I had missed. The moonlight reflecting off her creamy, white skin was breathtaking and I couldn't help but stare. I watched determination cross her features and she swallowed hard. She turned away from me slightly and reached down and grabbed the hem of that offensive over sized sweatshirt and yanked it over her head. That left her hair slightly wild and sexy as she stood there in the outfit that had sweetly tortured me before. I watched on as she slowly kicked off her blue flip flops from her small, perfect feet. She hesitated before she slowly undid the button of her sinfully short jean shorts and pulled down the zipper, the seductive sound vibrated loud in my ears and I licked my lips in anticipation as I watched her thumbs slide into her belt buckles. Her hips swayed seductively in small movements as she shimmied them down her glorious body, the stick in my hand snapped as I watched Bella bend over as she pulled them down the rest of the way before she stepped out of them. My eyes appreciatively ran from her feet, up her legs, to her bottom half that was now exposed like I'd never seen it before. She had on a dark blue bikini bottom with tiny white dots, it was held together only by tiny, breakable, strings on each side. I felt the ache in my swim shorts grow even more prominent as I took in her perfect round bottom peeking out of the tiny material, it was perfect and my fists clenched with need to mold that soft flesh in my hands.
Bella grabbed the bottom of her tank top and my breath hitched, I swallowed back the venom as I watched the fabric slide upward, slowly and tortuously past her flat stomach and over the tops of her breast. She discarded the top to the ground and smoothed her hair out as I took in her now half naked body, she was perfect. I couldn't help but concentrate on her top. Her perfect breasts that I had only had the honor of appreciating through the covering of her clothes were exposed and begging to be touched. My fists clenched as I imagined them filling up my hands perfectly. The moonlight shown down on her succulent cleavage as it cascaded out of the small covering of her bikini top. I was mesmerized. As Bella turned towards the water my body moved on it's own accord and I stood up and walked to her completely bewitched. Her scent was more powerful the closer I got and it was laced with something new. I reached her before she made it to the water knowing she knew I was there. I reached out and firmly grabbed her by the hips and pulled her back flush to me, she breathed out at the contact and I had to stifle back a moan, I had no doubt in my mind that she could feel my wanting hard against her back. The new scent from a moment ago hit me again harder this time and my head dropped back when I realized it was the scent of Bella's arousal.
It was the sweetest, most intoxicating scent and it flooded though me and awoken new things I'd never felt before. I swallowed back the massive amount of venom pooling in my mouth and tasted her sweet scent on my tongue, my eyes rolled back in my head. I was vaguely aware of my siblings off in the distance, I was completely entranced by Bella. The slight movement of Bella's hips pushing back against mine brought me roaring back to reality. What was I doing? I was teetering on the edge of insanity, swaying back and forth between doing the right thing or taking her right here. I shook my head in vain trying to clear it. I scooped her up bridal style and ran her into the water ducking us both under.

My head was spinning, one minute I was in the arms of Edward, closer than I've ever been to him before and the next I was flying through the air then submerged under the water. In the shock of everything I forgot to close my mouth and inhaled a gallon of water. I swam to the surface coughing up the wet substance attacking my insides. I could feel Edward circling my legs predator like under the water, the proximity of him to my bottom half igniting a fire in me. His soft hands wrapped around my ankles and before I realized what was happening he pulled me under again. Edward was smiling at me playfully under the water and I swam into him pushing him hard. He smiled wider and swam around me at vampire speed wrapping his arm around my middle spinning me in the water with him. The missing need to go up for air was freeing as we swam farther and farther away. He continued spinning our intertwined bodies in circles until we broke the surface. Edward was still holding me, treading water in place as we both took in erratic breaths. He pulled me closer opening his palm so it was flat against my back and reached up with the other to push my wet hair from my face, as he stared deep into my eyes. His hand paused on the back of my head and held it for a few seconds before I saw his eyes flicker down to my lips. We were so close I could feel his sweet breath on my face and every hard line of his body pressed against mine. I wanted to wrap my legs around his waist, I needed to be closer to him. As if he was reading my mind the hand on my back slid down my back slowly leaving a trail of fire in it's wake, slowing down over my bottom before continuing down my thigh to the back of my knee. He hitched my leg around his waist and I followed suit with the other one and locked my ankles behind his back.
He sucked in a hard ragged breath and I watched his eyes darken before me. His hand rested on my bottom and his other hand fisted in my hair pulling me closer to his lips.
I heard someone clear their throat and it took everything in me to turn away from the Adonis before me. I turned my head to see everyone frozen in place starring at us.

I could already taste Bella on my lips, I needed to kiss her. I moved my hand from her back passing and appreciating her soft supple bottom as I made my way down her thigh to the back of her knee. I moved purely on instinct and hitched her leg around my waist, I wasn't sure how she was going to react and I was completely aware that she might hate me for this but I took a chance. Bella took me by surprise once again and wrapped her other leg around me locking them behind my back. I don't know how we got here, I wasn't even really sure where here was, but if I had to guess I'm sure this is what heaven felt like. We were so close and I was completely overtaken as the heat from Bella's center pressed firmly against me and heated me to my very core. My hand fisted in her hair and I brought her closer to me, I focused in on her soft, full lips beckoning to be taken and I leaned in to kiss her.
Emmet's thoughts hit me before he cleared his throat. "Holy shit man, I didn't know you had it in you!"
Bella turned and looked at our audience and I watched the realization of the embrace we were just caught in cross her face. Her head slowly dropped and I unwillingly helped her untangle herself from me as I tried to control my anger. She slid off of me and put some space between us. My body ached from the lack of contact and I reached out and grabbed her hand in mine before she moved out of my reach. She looked back at me from under her lashes and I felt a pang of guilt in putting her in this uncomfortable situation. I turned my attention back to my awaiting family and glared.
Emmett was still grinning like the cat that ate the canary.
Rose was smirking at Bella, "That's my girl!" she thought approvingly.
Jasper was holding his head looking worn out, his thoughts jumping around, "Too much sexual tension, I need to take Alice somewhere private." to "Holy hell, five minutes, he couldn't even last five minutes." to "We need to get that man laid before I lose my mind!
Alice was smiling sincerely, "I'm sorry Edward, I tried to keep them away as long as I could. Poor Bella, she looks humiliated."
I looked over at Bella and berated myself for hurting her like this, again. It was becoming a habit of mine and I hated myself for it.
"Let's play chicken!" Emmett's voice boomed out echoing against the rocks.
"Hell no," Rosalie snapped, "I am NOT getting my hair wet."
Emmett picked her up and threw her outward into the water, she broke the surface spewing out curse words at him.
"Awh, come on Rosie, it's all in good fun," he pleaded as she stomped off and he followed.
I ignored them and turned my attention back to Bella catching her starring at me out of the corner of her eyes. I took a deep breath and pulled her along side of me following my siblings having no idea what to say to her at the moment.
We spent the rest of the night diving off of the highest rocks and swimming. I wrestled with my brothers as the girls waded in the shallow water. I wasn't into it though because Bella had been avoiding me, she stuck to Alice's side and hadn't spoken two words to me. It was a few hours before sunrise and we all made our way up to the fire to dry off before we got dressed. I couldn't take it anymore, I grabbed Bella's towel before she got to it and walked over to her and wrapped it around her body.
She grabbed the edges from me and hugged it to her, "Thanks." she said softly.
"My pleasure," I smiled at her trying to get anything back in return but she walked around me and made her way to the fire.
I sat in silence as everybody else chatted around the fire. I listened to Bella talk to Alice and bicker back and forth with Emmett and laugh and my heart ached the entire time. I had to make things right with her, every time I turned around I was messing things up.
The fire was out and we were finishing up getting ready to leave. Everyone else took off towards the jeep but I called after Bella before she got too far. She stopped and turned to me looking down at her feet.
"Bella, I'm sorry." I blurted out as I closed the space between us.
"What?" she asked looking up at me, confusion in her face, "What for?"
I chuckled insanely at her attempt to act like she wasn't furious at me for earlier, "I'm sorry for my behavior before, it was……inappropriate."

My mind was reeling, I had kept a distance from Edward for most of the night not really knowing what to say to him, I thought we would talk about it in private later but now he was apologizing for earlier…….was he regretting it?…….he seemed like he wanted it. No, that wasn't it, I know he wanted it, I felt it…….
"Bella?" he questioned in my silence.
"You're Sorry." I repeated his words out loud.
"Yes, so much, my actions were completely inappropriate, please…. can you ever forgive me?" he looked up at me from under his lashes.
How many times were we going to do this? How many times were we going to go to the brink of something finally happening between us and then pretend like nothing happened at all. Aggravation overtook me and I snapped.
"Edward Cullen," I pushed out through clenched teeth, "U. ARE. INFURIATING!"
I stomped off leaving a very confused, shocked looking vampire behind me.
I made it back to the jeep with Edward not far behind me and I was instantly reminded that I would have to ride back on Edwards lap. Perfect, I thought sarcastically.
"Bella?" Edward reached out and grabbed my arm, "Please, I'm so……"
I cut him off before he could finish, "Sorry. I know, you said that already." I shrugged him off and motioned for him to just get in the jeep, highly aware that we had an audience hanging on our every word.
He didn't budge so I continued with resignation in my voice, "Whatever, it's fine. I'm not angry with you about…earlier."
"But then what is it, what's wrong," he asked reaching for my hand.
I wrapped my arms around my middle to avoid his touch, Edward Cullen was driving me insane, if I could I would be bawling my eyes out in aggravation right now.
"Edward," I breathed out holding the sides of my head, "please just…..get in the car."
He studied my face and slowly got in. I let him help me in and I sat stiffly in his lap all the way home feeling his eyes burning into me the entire time.
When we got back to the Cullen's I was emotionally exhausted. Everyone went their separate ways and I heard Edward make his way up to his room, the door slammed and loud rock music that was very un-Edward-like pounded through the walls. I shook my head and made my way to Alice's room thinking what a mess tonight had turned out to be.
Alice opened her door for me expectedly and I flung myself across her bed.
I looked up at the smug little pixie.
"Okay Alice," I breathed out in defeat, "I need your help."
AN: So….how did you like it? The kiss will happen soon, I promise. Especially now that Bella's taking Alice up on her offer to help, Edward doesn't stand a chance.
