I had parked the Volvo outside Bella's house as I was picking her up for school. I truly hoped that she did not mind that I wanted to take her to school this morning.

We had managed to get into a silly argument last night which funnily enough led to the best kiss in my entire life! Bella was quickly taking over my life, not that I was complaining, infact just the opposite, I loved it. She had waltzed into my life and if it were at all possible I would have said that she could have brought life to my dead heart. Every second of every minute she was in my thoughts and I knew I was falling in love with her, heck I was already in love with her. She was smart, beautiful, funny, quirky and so much more. I could not imagine existing in this world without her and the thought of doing so stilled my heart. I wondered, what if she decided she did not want me, what if she simply woke up on morning and thought "what am I doing, falling in love with him". The thought of that terrified me, I could not and I would not lose her.

Sometimes I felt selfish and always got what I wanted, I was no different and I wanted, no, I needed Bella.

I saw a quick flash of colour and looked up, there she was, my Bella. Looking gorgeous in a gray scooped neck lined shirt that ended about mid-thigh and dark washed skinny jeans paired with dark gray ankle boots. Her pink and white striped bag was over flowing with paper. I chuckled at her appearance. She had a frazzled expression on her angelic face. Her brow was furrowed and she appeared to be biting her tongue between her tiny little white teeth in concentration. She was attempting to walk down the driveway whilst stuffing some papers into her already stuffed full bag.(.com/cgi/set?id=19009801 )

When she finally reached the Volvo, she threw the passenger door open wide and when she saw me she grinned. I felt quite relieved then and thought to myself "maybe she has forgiven me, maybe she is no longer angry" I truly hoped so, I so hated arguing with Bella. I wanted to spend every second of every minute and every minute of every hour being happy and being with Bella. Her eyes lit up as she slid into the car. "Well, doesn't someone look……beautiful today?" She blushed and quickly leaned over to peck my cheek. She lingered a couple seconds and smiled a little before pulling back. "Uhhh, thanks. You don't look too bad yourself you know" She admitted somewhat shyly. I chuckled at her. Silly girl.

When she leaned forward I caught a quick glimpse of something sparking in the morning light, I think it was a diamond, perhaps an engagement ring and a wedding ring. They were both gold and I had noticed them last night and figured they were her mothers. I decided not to ask, if she wanted to tell me about them then I would wait until she was ready to say anything. Not that she needed to but my usual inquisitive self hoped that she would.

"So, you are letting me take you to school from now on?" I asked while lifting her hand into mind and lacing my fingers through hers. She looked at our hands and bit her lip. She looked up again and I glanced over at her, she smiled sweetly at me and then shrugged her shoulders. She then turned her gaze from mine to look out of the car window. She looked ……happy, I mused and I was pleased because I was the cause of that happiness, or at least I hoped I was.

The thought of the reason for us both feeling so happy made me quite giddy and my thoughts trailed back to last night…….

It was a little after ten before we had decided to go to Bella's house that we could talk. She said she did not want to be alone and I felt much the same, I hated the thought of her being alone. We had got into the Volvo and drove to her house. I hadn't even got to see Carlisle, who I had been intending to go see in the first instance. I was however quite thankful that Esme had asked me to take Carlisle his food his food. The journey consisted of Bella telling me how to get to her house.

"Okay, so when you see my house, um, please don't freak out, okay?" Why on earth would I freak out?

"Ummm, okay." I was really confused. Then, a few minutes later, I understood why she said not to freak. I pulled up in front of one of the most biggest, most beautiful houses I had ever seen. It was made of brick and had some moss growing over some of the walls, there was ivy growing up the walls which reached all the way up to the roof. It was so beautiful and so elegant. It was a mansion and it looked as though it had at least twenty plus rooms. ( /2009/06/03/nicolas-cages-garden-district-mansion-in-new-orleans/ )

All I could do was gawk like an idiot and then I heard a soft sigh behind me. Bella! I quickly turned around to look her in the face, she looked worried at the stupid expression on my face.

"You promised you wouldn't freak." She said accusingly.

"No, no I'm not freaking, really, I'm just…….amazed, such a beautiful house Bella. Why on earth would I freak? I replied with a reverence in my voice. She blinked and giggled. "Come on silly…." She opened the door and I followed her. She walked confidently up to the front door and unlocked it. Instead of letting me looking around, she grabbed my wrist and dragged me to a separate room that had a set of double doors. She threw then open wide and it revealed a beautiful kitchen, a gourmet kitchen. I chuckled.

She looked at me like I was crazy and I smiled lovingly at her.

"Wow, my mom, Esme, would love it here. Hell, she would put a bed in and live in here."

She laughed and said, "Yeah, my mom and I loved to cook."

Bella quickly looked around the kitchen whilst nodding to me saying "Hey, I'm hungry, do you want some cookies?" with so much excitement in her voice. I could not help but smile at her because her eyes were wide and glowing. She skipped over to a massive pantry and began rummaging around inside it and eventually emerged with a big box of chocolate chip cookie mix and a bag of chocolate chips.

"Come on, you're gonna help me!" she said to me and I smiled thinking "Wow, she couldn't be more wonderful" I did feel a bit scared however, me bake, well I suppose if Bella wants to...

So, for the next hour, we baked cookies, and what a mess we made too but we had the time of our lives. Well, I am assuming that we both did just by how much she laughed. It made me so happy to see her laugh and hear her beautiful voice make such a beautiful sound.

We ended up getting us both covered in flour, sugar and chocolate. It was all over our clothes and our faces but neither of us cared, we were having fun. I looked around the lovely gourmet kitchen and noticed that there was not one single clean spot in sight, cookie mix was everywhere imaginable! Well it was all worth it because we made fabulous chocolate chip cookies and plenty of them too!

We were sitting together on the kitchen floor just talking about school. We avoided the subject of my family and the other students in the school. We began talking about her transportation, or lack of it. She informed me that she walked to school every morning which I thought was weird. Why, when she was obviously so rich, I really did not understand it!

So, I asked her and her response, of course, was "I don't want people to know how much money I have and there is absolutely nothing wrong with walking, its good exercise and its healthy".

"Bella," I said, "I could take you to school, really, I would love to." . She was having none of it, "No, people would shun you and your family would hate you! I just could not let that happen, it would not be right or fair because it would all be my fault and I could not forgive myself for that if……" She didn't continue which left me confused. Did this mean that she wanted me to take her to school, maybe I was wrong but then maybe I was right, anyway I needed to find out "Look, I really don't care Bella, I want to do this for you, after all I do lo….." and that was how I almost told her that I loved her. What a big mistake I nearly made!.

I took a deep breath and tried again.

"I like you Bella, I like you a lot". Did she not know that yet?

When I looked at her closely, she had a dazed look on her face and her lips were parted slightly.

"Me? Me?, I mean YOU like ME, Bella Swan?" She kept repeating it, almost as if she couldn't believe it.

"Yes." I simply answered and then in an effort to show her I leaned forward, stopping just when our lips were almost touching. I was looking at her just to see that this was okay and then to my utter surprise, she closed the distance between us. When her lips touched mine, I felt a spark of longing, a tingle, it was so right just like in all those sappy romance novels. Then, I lost control of what happened exactly, but she tilted her head and started kissing me, I mean REALLY kissing me. I think we both closed our eyes and our lips started moving together in a rhythm as old as time. When her tiny pink tongue licked at my bottom lip, I quickly opened my mouth for hers.

Our tongues were soon dancing in tune together as though to music and she tasted amazing. Mmmmmm just like mangos, peaches, melon and chocolate. It ended all too soon, we both had to breathe and we pulled away slightly from each other and looked into one another's eyes. I was lost and I really did not know what to do did she like it or hate it. She was so difficult to read and to understand, a total enigma. I wondered if she hated me at that moment as there was no indication from her at all as to how she felt and then to my utter amazement she smiled the most beautiful smile I had ever seen. Her eyes sparkled with delight and for the first time since I met her I seen true happiness in her usually sad face! She leaned forward to give me a peck on the cheek and I was having none of it. I quickly turned her face to mine again and once more did I begin the dance of our lips and tongues. It was a long time before either of us surfaced again and when we did neither of us were fit to breath for quite a while after! Yeah, she liked it and I must admit so did I……….

Sooo, heheh, yeah. Review.
