Later that night, Edward and I went back to my dorm, the others having left us alone for the night. Alice was hanging out with Jasper, and Rosalie and Emmett were doing who knows what. I opened the door, and stepped inside, Edward following close behind me.

"Here, let me take your jacket." He said. I smiled, thinking that he was always the perfect gentleman. He slid the jacket down my arms, letting his fingers graze my arms lightly as he pulled it off. His touch was like nothing else in the world- like thousands of tiny lightning bolts striking my skin. God how I wanted him to touch every inch of me…I blushed, realizing the turn my thoughts were taking, and walked away quickly. I went over to the small kitchen area and started making popcorn.

"You can pick out a movie if you want, just remember I want horror, not a chick flick." I told him, throwing the bag of popcorn in the microwave.

"Aw man, you mean we can't watch Legally Blonde?" He pretended to complain.

"Oh shut up, I know you secretly liked that movie." I teased him. I really think he did like it, which was pretty funny.

The microwave beeped, and I took the popcorn out and poured it in a big bowl. Edward turned on the movie he'd picked, and we settled in on the couch. We sat in silence for a little while before I decided it was time to flirt a little. I wanted to know if Alice was right about him liking me back, and the only way I was going to find that out was if I let go a little and allowed myself to flirt. I picked up a piece of popcorn and threw it at him, then quickly looked back at the movie.

"Oh weird, a piece of popcorn just hit me in the head. I wonder how that happened, Bella?" He smirked at me.

"I have no idea. That's really weird." I replied innocently.

A few minutes went by before I piece of popcorn hit me in the face. "Edward!" I whined. "That one was all covered in butter, gross!"

"I don't know what you're talking about…" He said, trying not to laugh. He reached over and wiped the butter off my face. "There, all better."

As soon as he turned around, I threw another piece at him, and couldn't help but giggle when he looked at me, pretending to be annoyed. I shrugged, feigning innocence again, and turned back to the movie, only to have a piece of popcorn thrown down my shirt. "Ugh, you are such a jerk." I said, trying to find the popcorn in my shirt. I looked at his face, but his eyes were staring at my chest with a look I'd never seen before. What was that? "I found it and threw it at him, breaking his gaze. He was blushing now, and I had to laugh.

"Look who's blushing now!" I laughed. He looked at me with a shimmer of mischief in his eye. "Oh no, you don't mister." I warned, putting the popcorn down just in case. But it was too late. Before I knew it, he was pouncing on me and tickling me all over. I couldn't stop laughing, and I tried desperately to tickle him back. When I could barely breathe from laughing so hard, I shrieked "Edward stop it!! STOP!" He stopped tickling, but didn't move off of me. Suddenly I realized the position we were in. He was laying on top of me, every inch of his body pressed into mine, and we were both fighting to catch our breath. Before I could even think of something logical to say, Edward leaned towards me slowly, gazing at my mouth with that unfamiliar look once again in his eye. Just as our lips were about to touch, someone knocked on the door. Edward immediately jumped up, running his hands through his hair like he always does when he's nervous or guilty. I silently cursed whoever had just ruined our moment, and stomped over to the door. I flung it open to see Angela on the other side.

"Hey Ang, what's up?" I asked, unable to hide all of my irritation.

"Um, I heard you screaming from down the hall, and I just wanted to make sure that everything was ok…but I guess you're fine, and this is pretty awkward actually so I'm just gonna go now. Tell your boyfriend I'm sorry." She had clearly mistaken the situation, and I felt bad for letting my irritation show. She was only trying to be nice after all.

"Ang, don't worry about it, I appreciate your concern. And he's not my boyfriend; we're just friends."I looked back at Edward, and signaled him to come over.

"Edward, this is my friend Angela. Angela, this is my best friend Edward." I introduced the two of them.

"Nice to meet you, Angela. Bella has told me a lot about you." Edward said, shaking her hand.

"Nice to meet you too Edward." Angela replied. "I'm gonna get going now, so have a good night guys, I'll see you later Bella."

"Bye Ang, I'll see you later." I said, closing the door slowly, afraid to look at Edward. But seeing as how he was standing in my room and all, I had to turn and look at him after a minute. When I turned around, I was surprised to see that he was closer than I had realized. He looked at me for a minute before taking a deep breath and starting to speak.

"Bella, I can't do this anymore. I can't keep pretending that everything is the same, when it hasn't been for awhile."Edward said slowly, bringing his hand up to brush a strand of hair out of my eyes. This was it. He had finally realized that I was in love with him, and he was going to reject me. I started shaking, and he looked at me, concerned.

"Are you ok?"

I shook my head. "I'm sorry, Edward. I know I'm not good enough to be more than your friend, and I've been trying to hide the way I feel about you so that we could still be friends. But if that's too weird for you, I understand." I stared at the floor, hoping he wouldn't see the tears falling down my cheeks.

"Bella, what are you talking about? I'm not too good for you; if anything, you're too good for me. I don't deserve someone as beautiful, sweet and funny as you. You make me laugh harder than anyone else. You make me smile when it seems like I have no reason to. And you never seem to see how beautiful you are, even though it is so clear to me that you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

I looked up at him, tears still falling. I was afraid to believe that he could possibly have feelings for me like I did for him. How could he possibly think that I, Bella Swan, was beautiful?

"Sweetheart, don't cry, please. I hate seeing you cry." He lifted my face to look at him. "You're the most wonderful person I've ever known, Isabella." And then it happened. The moment I had been waiting for since I was sixteen, and dreaming about endlessly.

Edward gazed at my lips, and leaned towards me. His lips touched mine softly, and then pulled back. He kept his eyes closed for a few seconds, and then looked me in the eyes. He took a shaky breath, as if afraid that he had done something wrong. I smiled at him, and pulled him to me, kissing him with all the passion I'd kept inside for all these years. He wrapped his arms around me, and slowly walked me backwards until the backs of my knees hit the couch. He pulled back and looked at me, as if asking for permission. I laid down on the couch, pulling him with me, and he didn't waste a second in bringing our lips together again. I opened my mouth slightly, and ran my tongue over his bottom lip, feeling him shiver and open his mouth to me. When we started to run out of air, he moved his lips to my neck, kissing me over and over. I had never been happier; the feel of his lips on my skin was just as I had imagined it- pure bliss. My hands roamed over his chest, feeling his strong muscles and incredible abs. His hands traced circles on my stomach, slowly moving higher. I gasped when he lightly traced his fingers over my breast. He stopped, and looked at me. "Bella, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so forward." He sat up, clearly ashamed of his actions. I felt rejected, but I knew that Edward had always been a gentleman, and I hoped that this was about him begin polite, and not about me.

"Edward, don't apologize. You don't know how long I've waited to do that." I told him, glad that I could finally be honest.

"Really?" He looked at me hopefully.

"Really." I said, smiling.

"Good, because I never want to stop." He said. And with that, he pressed me back into the couch, and started kissing me senseless once again.

Two chapters in one night, ohh man. I totally owed you guys though, since I haven't update in FOREVER. Reviews are better than candy! (But not as good as Edward…)
