Thanks for all the alerts, and thank you to those who added me to their favourites.

Sorry this chapter was a bit short. It was just a filler to get you to understand Edward and Bella a bit more.

Chapter 2: Flight

I awoke to the blaring of my alarm clock and slowly got out of bed. But of course, me being the graceful person I am, slipped on my blanket and my face met the floor. After two more minutes of groaning I got back up, grabbed my bag of toiletries and headed into the bathroom.

After brushing my teeth and showering, I threw on a pair of jeans, a green t-shirt and a black hooded sweater. And lastly my pair of converses. I was deciding what to do with my hair but quickly gave up and put it into a ponytail which was tied at the nape of my neck. I grabbed my suitcase and put on my glasses before heading downstairs.

I wasn't hungry so I just drank a glass of orange juice. I washed my dishes and then my cell phone started ringing. "Hey Bella!" Alice sang into the phone. Only Alice can be so happy at this hour. "We're in front of your house so hurry it up".

"Oh okay I'll be out in a sec".

I grabbed my suitcase and glanced at the clock.4:00 a.m. sharp. Right on time. I walked outside and was met with the bitingly cold air of Forks.

I shut the door as fast as possible and quickly hopped into Emmett's Jeep. Rose was in the passenger seat next to Emmett who was driving, Edward was at one end, Jasper was next to Alice and Alice was next to me. She was practically bouncing.

"Oh my gosh Bella this is going to be so great".

I put on a smile and replied, "Yeah, can't wait".

Emmett then said, "Okay kiddies, let's get this show on the road" and pulled out of the driveway.

On the way to the airport, Alice was reading a fashion magazine, Jasper was reading a history novel, Rosalie was looking at herself in the mirror and Edward just sat there with a scowl on his face.

I on the other was looking out of the window, staring at all the green which was Forks. I was brought out of my "sight-seeing" by Emmett singing along to the radio.

"I kissed a girl and I liked it,

The taste of her cherry chap stick"

Edward groaned, "Emmett why do you like this song? It's so disgusting."

Emmett laughed and said, "Oh come on Eddie, you can't tell me that you don't think this girl is cool."

"Okay, I do not think this girl is cool and don't call me Eddie."

Emmett turned to rose and asked, "Rose why don't you taste like cherry?"

Rose looked a little annoyed.

Emmett then asked, "Hey Jasper, what does Alice taste like?"

Jasper turned a light shade of pink and replied, "Bubblegum."

Emmett had a smile on his face. He then asked, "So Bella what do you taste like?"

I turned a bright shade of red as my cheeks burned with embarrassment. Everyone including Edward turned to look at me. I bit my lip to help from blushing so much.

"Um, I'm really not sure."

Emmett laughed and said, "Hey Edward why don't you find out?"

At that moment I wished that the earth would open up and swallow me whole.

I was prepared to receive a mean comment from Edward but it didn't come. Instead, he looked at me with the strangest expression and then looked away. If I didn't know any better I'd swear it was almost a look of want but this was the guy who hated and made fun of me so I quickly shook the thought.

************************************************************************

"Why do I have to sit next to Edward?" I asked for what seemed like the fifth time.

"Because Bella, I'm next to Jazz and Rose is next to Em. It's not my fault. I mean you can't expect us to separate the couples. Besides now you and Edward over there can get a chance to really know each other."

Alice walked away laughing. I was now going to have to endure a few hours with Edward. Great.

We boarded the plane and took our seats. Edward and I were behind Alice and Jasper who were behind Rose and Emmett.

Edward took the window seat which got me stuck next to the aisle.

After a little while, the attendants demonstrated the safety procedures and then the captain came on the intercom, "Good morning ladies and gentlemen. We are now preparing for take-off so please ensure that your seatbelts are securely fastened. And thank you for flying with us."

As soon as I felt the plane moving I squeezed my eyes shut. I wasn't really too keen on flying. When we were in the air I opened my eyes and Edward shook his head.

I grimaced and leaned into my seat to try to relax.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This had to be the most boring flight ever. I had no one to talk to because Emmett and Rosalie were too far way and Alice and Jasper were sleeping.

Not to mention, the flight attendant was constantly leaning over me and flirting with Edward.

For what would be the fourth time in ten minutes she came over. Again. She bent over, giving a clear look at her chest and in what I'm guessing was supposed to be a seductive voice said, "Is there anything I can do to make your flight more enjoyable?"

I think I threw up in my mouth a little after that one.

Edward had a smug smile on his face and replied, "How about I let you know a little later?" and winked.

I thought the attendant was about to have a heart attack. She stuttered, "Uh-um ye-yeah sure." and finally walked away to serve an old couple.

I let out a sigh and said, "Thank goodness."

"What's the matter Bella? Jealous?"

I let out a scoff and said, "Ha, you wish Cullen. I just don't appreciate people in my personal space." which was true.

We didn't say anything else to each other after that.

Then we were experiencing some turbulence. The captain came on the intercom again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are experiencing some turbulence. Please remain seated and ensure your seatbelts are fastened."

Things started to get a little worse and without thinking I gripped onto Edward's hand but dropped it like a hot piece of metal when I realized what I did.

I felt the strangest sensation when I touched him but figured it must be all the hate I held.

I chanced a glance at Edward to see him studying his hand. I guess I wasn't the only one who felt it.

He looked up at me and I didn't turn away. I looked at him too. I wasn't sure how long it lasted but I was brought back by the voice of Alice, "Hey guys, we're landing now."

I slowly turned away from his intense stare and gave her a smile. I was very confused about that moment. It felt a little too intimate and now I was very uncomfortable. I just wanted to get away from Edward.

Upon landing we were given the okay to leave. I tried to leave Edward's side as fast as possible but ended up getting my foot caught on my seat and braced myself for the impact.

What I felt instead was a pair of arms gripping me by the waist. Reluctantly I opened my eyes to see Edward. He really was good looking. Wait, what the hell was I thinking?

Maybe he is a nice guy somewhere deep down? A nagging voice said.

He then got that same stupid smug smile on his face and said, "See anything you like Swan?"

Okay, scratch my earlier thoughts. He's still the same arrogant , self-centered jackass.

I released myself from his grip and went to stand next to Alice.
