Sorry I'm taking a while to post new chapters. (Although, I believe I am quicker than most).

I've been really busy lately, trying to help my sister register in college, getting my classes for this fall.

This isn't really a whole chapter, but I wanted to post something to keep my readers entertained? Hehe )

I hope everyone enjoys.

Chapter 6- Confessions

My mind was still in a fog after his kiss. I was so happy to see the wide grin spread across his face after he realized what he had done. But why now? Why didn't he kiss me in my room?

"Wow…" I said.

"I know."

"But why…?" my voice drifted off, I didn't know how to ask him.

He watched as the confusion began to spread across my face.

"Why what, Bella?"

"Why kiss me here and not in my room?"

Edward's eyes searched my face for a moment. He seemed hesitant, and his arms began to loosen from around my waist. He was about to pull away from me, but before he had the chance I quickly took hold of his shoulders, keeping the close proximity.

"Tell me, Edward. If you're afraid of hurting my feelings, don't be. I can handle it."

"Bella, it's just… You know how people sometimes say, 'it isn't you, it's me?' Well, this time it really isn't about you. It a dilemma I have to deal with." Edward wasn't looking at me anymore. His eyes seemed to be locked on a nearby tree. I knew he was avoiding my gaze, and it made me upset.

"Tell me what's bothering you," I said as softly as I could. "I want to help you all that I can. I want to understand."

Edward wrapped his arms around my waist again, but this time his hold was stronger, as if he was suddenly afraid of losing me. He then placed his head in the hitch between my neck and shoulder.

"I was afraid," he whispered against my shoulder.

"You were afraid?" I whispered back.

"I've never felt this way about anyone before. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm not very suave, but I've never kissed a woman before. I didn't really know what to do, and I panicked."

I hugged him tight against my chest to try to relieve the anxiety, the pain and the embarrassment I knew he felt.

"Edward, listen to me." I grabbed his face between both of my hands, and brought his eyes level to mine. His pain was completely visible in his golden eyes. "You have nothing to be ashamed of. I've never felt this way about anyone before either, and I've never experienced wanting someone as much as I want you. I am just as rusty as you are. Don't you remember me telling you that I've never had a boyfriend? I wasn't lying."

Edward's eye seemed to relax, and a small smile replaced his frown.

"Just don't hold back from me," I said only seconds before he kissed me again.

His kiss was just as strong as the first one, only this time I parted my lips, allowing him to explore my mouth. His tongue gently slid into my mouth, massaging mine, tasting me, and then he carefully sucked my top lip into his mouth. His tongue was cold, and he tasted sweet. I was hungry for his taste, and I drank him in as if he was my only addiction. I moaned against his lips as my hands tangled themselves into his hair and I crushed my body against his. Then all too soon, Edward broke his lips away from me.

"Sorry," I gasped. My lips felt numb and swollen.

Edward smiled his crooked smile at me. He was just as out of breath as I was.

"Bella," he said. His voice was low and husky in my ears. "Bella, I…" he was starring into my eyes, searching them. "I'm in love with you."

I couldn't breathe. I had literally stopped breathing and I couldn't move. I just sat there, wide-eyed. I couldn't believe the words that were now echoing in my ears.

Edward's face suddenly changed. It was once dazed, slightly matching my own, and now it was suddenly horrified. He must have thought I didn't return the feelings.

"I'm in love with you too!" I yelled before he had the chance to run from me. "Edward, I'm so in love with you."

And then he kissed me, for the third time that day.

I know, it's a super-duper short chapter, but I just wanted to give my viewers a quick little taste for now.
