RESULT

Flashback: …I did what I had been craving to do since I first saw Edward and all his perfection, and leaned in for the kiss.

I think I caught him by surprise as my lips met his. He tasted really good! Like…sunshine. Weird. The kiss only lasted for about half a second, maybe not even that long, because he pulled away so fast you would have thought that I was a bad kisser! Which, for the record, I totally am not.

He backed away with a hungry look in his eyes. Yes, hungry! I smiled smugly. I always leave them wanting more.

He gulped, and looked totally taken aback. "Bella, why did you do that?" He asked, his eyes smoldering into mine.

I took a confident step forward, and then cocked my head and asked, "Why? Did you not want me to?" Then I gave him my puppy dog face so that I could ensure that he wouldn't say "No, Bella, I did not want you to."

His eyes stopped smoldering, and became gentle. "Well, actually, I sort of did. It's just that this is so wrong. This - us - it can never work out."

I pouted extravagantly, and the left corner of his mouth twitched. "Edward, why can't we work? That is absolutely ridiculous! If two people lo-like one another, shouldn't they be together? It's the way of the world! Get used to it!" Woops, can't say the L-word yet. If there's one thing that I've learned about guys, its that the word "love" is a total dealbreaker if said too early on in a relationship. I really should censor what I say more...but what fun would that be?

"In a normal situation, I would agree with you. But this isn't a normal situation," he calmly replied.

"And why is that? Because we're both extremely good looking?" He looked at me as if I was missing something extremely important. Which it turns out I was. "Oh. You mean because you're a vampire, and I'm a human." He nodded. I gave him an indignant look. "That's stupid! Do you think I give a shit that you're a vampire? Cuz I don't. Actually, I think it's pretty sexy." I slowly approached him and moved my finger up and down his collar bone. He stiffened under my touch, but didn't move away. I smiled hugely, and then bit my lip so as not to look like too much of a giddy, love-sick freak. "See? Our relationship is improving by the second!"

He had to smile at that one. But there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. Oh, who am I kidding? It was way more than a hint. "Bella, I really like you. More than you like me, I would wager, but-"

"ExCUSE me??" I cut him off. "You so do not like me more than I like you!"

"Why do you say that?" He asked, puzzled.

"Because I've shown so much more affection towards you! And I've liked you since I first saw you. Therefore, throughout the entire time that I have been living in Forks, I have liked you. I highly doubt that you can say the same, seeing as Day 1 of the 'Edward and Bella Meet One Another Story' you acted as if you hated my guts." I crossed my arms and leaned back on my foot; a stance of superiority.

"Bella, you cannot even comprehend the amount of love that I have for you!" He shouted, angry.

I gasped. "You love me?" I inquired softly.

His eyes widened, as if he was surprised that he had said that. Then he smiled a gorgeous crooked smile. "Yes, Bella. I do."

I smiled so largely that I thought my cheeks might fall off. But in a good way, of course. "I love you too, Edward."

This time, he leaned in for the kiss. And boy, was it good…

When we were done, approximately five minutes later, I was amazed by the amount of kissing skill this guy had. Much better than any other loser I had kissed back in Phoenix. I could feel my cheeks flushing from lack of air. He stroked one of them, and then said, eyes sparkling, "Well, that was interesting."

I laughed out of nervousness. Typically when people say "interesting", they say it so that they don't hurt the other person's feelings. Trust me, I would know - you don't even know the number of guys that I've told shared an "interesting" kiss with me.

I pursed my lips and looked up at Edward. "Interesting. Not exactly the verb I would have used to describe what just happened, but whatever." I let a little sadness taint my voice so that he could take a hint that that was not what I wanted him to say.

"No, no, Bella! Interesting in a good way, not a bad way. It was - well, you're a really good kisser." I swear that he was blushing. Or looked like he would, if he could. Can vampires blush? Probably not. "I only said that it was interesting because it was rather difficult for me to control myself."

I raised my eyebrows. "Slow down there, buddy. I don't do the nasty on the first date."

Edward's face seemed to get even paler, and his eyes darkened. "That's not exactly what I meant when I said that I couldn't control myself. I'm a vampire, remember? And my lips were just on your skin. Which is simply a thin layer right over your blood. Which would taste especially good to me. Remember our conversation from about seven minutes ago?"

"Oh, right. I sort of forgot. Well, at least you think I'm a good kisser," I said flirtatiously. "And in case you were wondering, you're the best kisser that I've ever, erm, experienced. Congrats."

Suddenly, my head started spinning. Whoa. Someone up there decied it was time for the alcohol to start kicking in. I was used to this by now, but it still always took me by surprise when the large amounts of booze that I consume take effect. I stumbled, but Edward caught me in his strong, rock-hard arms. "Thanks," I mumbled.

"Bella, are you alright?" I tried to nod, but I couldn't move my head. It was soo heavy. "Bella, answer me!" I opened my mouth, but the words couldn't fight their way out.

"What are you doing here? You're a Cullen, am I right?" A vaguely familiar voice that sounded pretty far away rang in my ears. I mustered a groan, and my eyes closed. I suddenly recognized the voice - Jacob. "You aren't allowed here."

I heard Edward answer, but I couldn't make out the words. His voice sounded so far off. The spinning world came to a halt, and then everything was black.

Muaha, I really am evil!! This chapters a tad short, but hey, Edward/Bella action!! Sort of…I'm kind of experiencing writers block, and am kind of winging it with my story..but anyways, since you guys gave me SIX REVIEWS for this chapter (thanks again, by the way), it would totally make my life if I could get seven for this chapter. As in, Chapter 9 will come out when the seven reviews do. I really am evil…Well, if that's what works.
