AN: Hey there. I didn't get much in the review department. Thank you all anyway. I don't own Twilight.
After dropping Emmett and Rose, Bella pointed the way to her home.
"Well, I really had a great time. I don't think I could have that much fun losing."
She was about to open the car door, when he caught her arm. she turned back to him. She could see his adam's apple bounce. He held his left fist slightly opened up to his right eye as if looking through it. He placed his right fist beside his temple and peddled it around.
"Movie?" she questioned. He nodded. She smiled, "I'm glad I was good at charades."
He pointed to her and then himself. Her grin melted off her face. "You want us to go to the movies?"
He nodded again. "Just us?" Another nod.
"Um . . ."
He realized her hesitation. He gave a dismissive wave and shook his head. Never mind.
She caught his hand. "Actually Edward I'd love to." His eyes lit up and a small smirk lifted the corners of his mouth. He leaned in to kiss her, but she turned away. He paused then leaned passed her to open the door.
"Oh. Good night." She got out of his silver Volvo, shut the door, and went up the walkway.
He gave her a wave before she stepped into her house. He sighed ran his hand through his bronze messy hair and drove off.
. . .
"And you said what?" Angela asked.
"I said okay," Bella explained about Edward asking her out last night.
"Why?"
"I don't know. I felt bad."
"But what about Jacob?" Jessica quested. "You made me drive you to the bowling alley because you were worried how it would look if —"
"I know, I know," Bella interrupted.
"You need to tell him you like Jacob," Jessica stated.
"You're leading him on Bella and that's just cruel," Angela added.
"I can't tell him." Bella watched as Edward walked into the cafeteria. She knew there was something about him. A feeling she didn't realize was beginning to form. "I just can't."
She stared at how he greeted his friends, knuckle touching, and then walked over to her table holding a rolled up newspaper. She unconsciously smiled.
Edward saluted hello to Angela and placed his fisted hand with an upward thumb by his chin and shook it slightly. He did the same to Jessica only instead of a lifted thumb he pointed his little finger downward.
"What's he saying?" The girls looked at Bella.
Edward pointed to Angela and then pointed at Jessica. "I think that was his greeting for each of you," Bella stated.
He nodded.
"What's Bella's?" Angela asked.
He held his palm up, his fingers together and his thumb folded across, beside his right ear. He slid it across his jaw bone down to his chin. Bella smiled.
"What about Jacob's?" Jessica asked abruptly. The other two girls had their eyes wide in shock, staring at her meaningfully.
Edward looked curiously at the three girls. He wondered why Jessica received that reaction.
He held up his right fist up by his temple and had his pinky finger upright. He hooked it around by rotating hig wrist then pretended to pull a strand of hair down to his shoulder, signifying jacob's long hair.
Bella pointed to the paper. "What's that for?"
He cleared an area on the table and unrolled the newspaper to reveal a movie listing for that weekend. Her belly made a flip, reminding her of her uncertainty of the upcoming date. Edward pointed to one title.
She glanced at all the choices for a moment. "I guess that will be fine." He had picked an action comedy.
Bella hadn't realized her mouth had turned down, but Edward had. He grinned and lifted her chin softly with his fist. Her cheeks pinked as she smiled.
He tore off a piece of paper and wrote his cell phone number on it, along with the words, "I'll pick you up at seven."
AN: So what do you think so far? I'd love to hear from you.
