Edward's POV
I really liked working with Bella. She was different. I had a feeling that she really listened to me. And that smile...would make my heart melt. I still had to be on my guard. Some people mean to be sweet, but turn out otherwise.
Alice approced me and asked if I wanted to watch a movie with Bella, Jasper and her. Jasper was my sisters' boyfriend and a good friend of mine. His mum was an alcoholic and he never met his father. That's why he was here. He didn't mind talking about it and he could explain everything really well and polite. He was harmless... that's probably the reason why i let him date my sister.
I accepted the invitation and went, after dinner that is, to my room to change into a different shirt. I hoped this was going to be a lovely evening.
Bella's POV
It was weird, but I was kinda nervous when I found out that Alice had invited Edward. Ofcourse Jasper was coming to and would be all over Alice, which would leave me and Edward.
I changed my sweatshirt into a t-shirt with long sleeves. I fixed my hair and applied a new layer of mascara on my eyelashes. Still nervous, I sat down on the couch and waited 'till the guests arrived. Alice walked into the room, looking like a fairy. She wore a grey dress with black lace over the silky grey fabric. She picked up two dvd boxes.
"Okay, it's either Spiderman 3 or Transformers" she looked at me.
"Spiderman it is"I smiled and got up when I heard a knock on the door. A pretty blonde boy stood in front of Edward. He stretched out his hand to shake mine.
"Hello, I'm Jasper, Alices' boyfriend." he said
"I'm Bella"I smiled and sat down. Alice sat down beside me and Jasper beside her. Edward looked at our dvd choices and smiled. He started the dvd and sat down next to me. The movie started and I saw Alice curling up on Jasper. I wish I could just do that, but I couldn't. It would be to hard. It made me remember him and all the things he had down to me. We were at the part where Maryjane and Peter were laying in the web. I could feel Edwards hand sliding towards mine and than I snapped
"DON'T TOUCH ME!"
Edward's POV
I was getting rather comfy on the couch, sitting next to Bella. I could smell her, she smelled beautifully. Like strawberries and peppermint. I felt so comfortable and I put all my trust in her. I looked down at her hand, that layed on her knee. Without thinking I slid my hand towards her. She pulled it away quickly
"DON'T TOUCH ME!" she yelled and got up. She ran outside and slammed the door. I looked at Jasper and Alice, who both lifted their shoulders. What had I done? Well actually, I hadden't done anything that disturbing. There was something in her, that made her react this way. Or did she really hate me?
Bella's POV
I stormed out of the room. I had to think, more importantly, I had to breathe first. It's not that he had done something bad. I just....it caught me off guard. I flipped out. And all because of him. Because he....he... I couldn't even say what he had done to me. I sat down and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was 5 o'clock. I got up went to my own room, thinking that Edward and Jasper would be gone and Alice would be asleep. Fortunatly i thought right. I quicky got in bed and fell asleep.
The next morning went really fast. I didn't see Edward at breakfast and my first three lessons were without him. Alice didn't even speak of what had happened the night before. She was just her happy-self.
"Okay, Bells, I'm gonna go. Good luck in Bio!" She smiled and hopped away. I walked slowly to class. Not wanting to see Edward. I was ashamed, ashamed of my reaction towards him. I saw him sitting in class. He looked up when I entered the room and looked down again. I sat down next to him and looked at the ground, like he did. As if we were looking for words to speak. The teached hit the lights and started a movie.
I looked at Edward. I had to speak to him
"Pssst Edward"I whispered. He didn't speak, he just stared at me.
"I wanted to apologize, I'm sorry. I overreacted." I looked down at the ground, blushing, feeling ashamed again.
"Why did you react that way?" he whispered back, scooting over closer.
"I just....it's hard to explain. I just...got frightened"
"You're saying you're scared of me"
"No not you, really, just..." I stuttered. He must have seen it was difficult for me to say it because his face softened and he looked at me with a more friendly stare.
"It's okay. You don't have to tell me right away. It's your secret" he gave me a small smile. He was right, it was my secret.
